Swimming: Freestyle
Top times are based at swimming approximately 2 MPH
Swimming works your whole
body, using almost all of your
major muscle groups. It
improves cardiovascular
conditioning, muscle strength,
endurance, posture, and flexibility
all at the same time.
Your cardiovascular system in particular benefits because
swimming improves your body's use of oxygen without
overworking your heart.
Swimming is one of the most popular forms of aerobic
exercise, and it is an excellent activity for anyone who wishes
to get fit and stay fit. It also helps tones arms and legs, and it's
very easy on the joints. In fact, it's perfect for people who have
muscle or joint problems. The weightlessness of the water
helps them exercise pain-free. The best strokes for all-over
body toning are the freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke.
Low risk of injury: There is a low risk for swimming injuries
because there’s no stress on your bones, joints or connective
tissues due to buoyancy and the fact that you weigh 1/10th
less in water. If you’re looking for a safe daily workout routine,
swimming is ideal because you can rigorously work out with a
reduced chance of swimming injuries. Many athletes
supplement their training with swimming. Swimming will
increase your stamina, can help ward off diabetes and high
blood pressure, and relieves stress, it's fun, refreshing, and
forgiving of excess weight or physical disabilities.
Downside: Not everyone has easy access to pools, lakes, or
the ocean. Swimming is not weight bearing, so you should
pair it with other activities such as walking or lifting weights.
