Swim Workouts
Swim workouts
are one of the best ways to exercise the whole body with minimal risk of injury. But, it has remained an under-exploited way to get fit – until now.

Swimming uses all the major muscle groups of the body, all at once, which makes for intense cardiovascular workouts (350 – 400 calories an hour), at the same time as giving toning benefits similar to doing a full circuit of weights in the gym. It also feels easier than it is, largely because you don’t feel hot in water.
Most of us that swim on a regular basis do so in our ‘comfort zone’, i.e. swimming at a pace and in a way that is comfortable to us at the time. We slow down without really being conscious of it and it only takes a slight increase in that pace and intensity that can make all the difference.
It’s been well known for a long time that swimming is one of the best water exercises and types of exercise for all round fitness. With zero impact on the joints in the body, it tones up all of the major muscle groups in the body, and gets the cardiovascular system working all at the same time. A perfect way to workout if you’re not a fan of the gym or are recovering from an injury. On the other hand, it’s important to have a wide variety to your training and swimming offers that extra diversity to challenge your body.
When working through your swim workout, remember one very important point: correct swimming technique lets you swim faster with half the effort!
