Start 2016 with some Water Aerobics in Your West Palm Beach Area Pool!
When it comes to doing water aerobics many people tend to shy away from it unless you happen to be older or have gone through some type of injury that prevents you from doing other workouts. There are several benefits of working out in your own pool and not just because of the fact that aquatic exercise is easier on the joints and bones. Let’s cover a few other reasons why you should consider your pool as one of the best places to lose weight and get fit. If you weighed in at 140 lbs. And did some type of pool, cardio for approximately sixty minutes, you would burn over 266 calories (the same as running for: 30 min). In order for you to lose 1 lb of weight you need to burn around 3500 calories. By eating properly and doing this type of calorie burning activity on a daily basis you can burn those lbs. in a couple of months. The nice thing doesn’t have to leave the house to get your workout on! Another advantage to doing this fitness regimen is that you aren’t using a public facility to swim. It’s your dirt, grime and whatever else may be in your own swimming pool. That in itself should deter you from doing your routine elsewhere. Other than the clean factor water aerobics helps you to sleep better since you’re burning calories and moving. By using resistance training the water helps to burn and turn you into a fitness machine. Without putting additional stress on your joints. People that have gone through some type of injury or who may suffer from a birth defect can stay fit by swimming and doing exercise.
Remember to always check with a doctor before doing any type of aerobic activity, whether it’s in a pool or otherwise. It’s important to know what your limits are before you dive in.

Here are a few quick exercises for you to consider when using your pool for aerobics:
Circles:
While submersed in the water use stand in shoulder height water. Point one foot out in front of you and with both arms extended and hands with closed fist, make little circles alternating feet and making big circles and small circles. Squeeze butt muscles together and keep tightening as you lower and change feet.
Swim N Roll: You’ll need a beach ball for this movement. Clenching the ball tightly to your chest and legs extended out, roll around for: 30 seconds, keeping your core tucked into your belly button. This will give you an entire workout for your body. Change directions and repeat.
VABS: In the shallow water fall back and create a “V” shape with your glutes facing the bottom of the pool. Hold yourself above water by using small circle motions with cupped hands. Hold the position for up to: 30 seconds. Release then do it again for a count of 12. Many of these types of exercises can be found online at places like Pintrest. These are perfect resources for building your pool routine. By putting a little effort into your pool, exercise program you won’t only be burning calories and losing weight, you’ll be toning and enjoying your pool in a whole new light!
