Swimming Workouts

Swimming is an excellent way to keep in shape for those who don't enjoy going to the gym and running on a treadmill or sweating their way through a stair climbing routine. Swimming activates all the main muscle groups in the body, and the intensity of the workout depends on the individual swimmer. Since swimming is performed alone, it can be less intimidating that taking up a team sport, seeing as the swimmer is only racing against their personal best times.

Besides a place to swim, the most important piece of equipment you'll need is a good pair of swimming goggles. Get goggles that can be adjusted across the bridge of the nose. Fog free goggles work, but they lose this quality quickly and are much more expensive. Many people develop low grade nasal reactions to pool water. Using a nose clip will make your swimming workouts more comfortable.

Interval swimming - Interval training is a high effective form of cardio exercise with running, cycling, and other workouts. Swimming is no exception. What interval training means is that you change the pace of your workout every few moments. For instance, you swim very fast for a minute, then slow things down to a medium pace for 3-4 minutes. Then, you push yourself hard again, so on and so forth.

The first key is to make swimming a sport, not a social event. You're not at the pool to see beautiful people in bathing suits. You're there to workout. That being said, make your workout a priority and focus on getting it done. Afterward, you can sit by the pool, rest your body and feast your eyes.

Swimming is perhaps the best way of losing weight since you are not just having fun but you are also working your body out. It helps in making your body strong especially your heart and lungs. Although not all have the opportunity to do it because of the fact that not everyone knows how to swim. Compare to other types of exercises, swimming can only burn few fats in your body, which is why many are not performing it as their workout.

The purpose of setting goals is not to become the next Michael Phelps but to give you something measurable to strive for, to work hard to achieve. If you're determined to be able to complete 50 laps in 6 months, you will put in a lot more effort in the pool to achieve this. This will make you workout harder will will also be good for your abs.

One of the first things to remember is that you should never do swim workouts on your own, particularly if you are uncomfortable in the water. Many of us may have a neighborhood pool where we are able to go down and work out regularly in the water. It can cause some real problems, however, if we should happen to over exert ourselves and find that we are in a dangerous situation. It would be much better for you to either stay in the shallow end of the pool or to recruit somebody to work out with you.
