As you may have guessed, the benefits of water exercises are many, in fact, too many to name all at once. That is why we’re going to focus on the five biggest ones.
It builds your strength – As we’ve said many times now, swimming builds strength by being a resistance exercise. It is much more difficult to swim for a mile than to jog for a mile. This way, your muscles grow strong and develop at a quick rate.
It puts no stress on your joints – OK, it puts some stress on them, but a lot less stress than all other forms of exercising. There is very little to no risk of injury.
It improves flexibility – Flexibility is often overlooked when it comes to personal fitness, and it really shouldn’t be. Water provides a unique environment for exercising, one that greatly enhances your body’s flexibility.
It burns calories – There is a common myth that swimming can’t help you lose weight. Well, it can, and rather quickly so. Swimming is a calorie-torching activity.
It’s healthy for your heart – Swimming will get your heart to pump like never before and it will boost the efficiency of your cardiovascular system.
