Swimming Full Body Exercise


        Swimming can be an excellent activity if we want to get fit, lose weight, or just stay healthy. The benefits are well known and have been proven by medical science, and this activity can be ideal for all ages and physical limitations. This form of exercise is low impact and adds resistance to every move that we make. Many exercises require that we should be in decent physical shape before we can attempt these routines. Otherwise may carry a high risk of injury, like muscle sprains and strains. Swimming does not have any of these concerns and can be used by anyone, regardless of our current physical condition.

         Swimming is also an excellent choice for physical fitness and health. When we swim several times a week, we will increase our basal metabolic rate, so that we burn more calories at all times, even when we sleep or lay around the house. If we want to tone muscles and stay healthier, swimming may be the right exercise choice. Other types of cardio workouts may not be an option for one reason or another, but few individuals have physical limitations that exclude swimming. The flexibility of this activity means that we can modify our workout to fit all of the specific needs in our individual case.

            swim out to it"
