Swim Spas are great for exercise and health!
Investing in a Swim Spa saves you thousands in Gym memberships, as a Swim Spa is a complete fitness center in your own backyard.
Swimming benefits your entire body. It builds muscle strength, endurance, flexibility and improves cardiovascular health.
Although water is buoyant, it actually adds 12 times more resistance than air, which means it requires more work to move through water than air. However, the stress of the movements is shifted away from the joints to the muscles. This means that movements done in the water can be both aerobic and anaerobic at the same time. It is like lifting weights while jogging but without the stress on your body.
Swimming is a total body workout, exercising all your major muscle groups including back, shoulders, legs, hips and abdominal, and the smoothness of the movements helps lengthen and stretch muscles rather than make them bulky.
Swimming provides a healthy alternative to traditional modes of exercise for improving cardio respiratory fitness and health for the general population, as well as for the patients suffering from chronic diseases.
Swimming benefits your mind as well, if you let it. When you swim, relax and focus on nothing but the rhythm of your breathing and the movements of your stroke. This form of meditation helps you relax and relieve stress. Being enveloped by the water facilitates a calming feeling, leaving you feeling more relaxed.
No matter how you enjoy the water, swim spas are a great way to exercise, stay healthy and have fun!
