Swimming has been viewed as a fantastic way to improve overall health and many studies only seem to further back up the notion that swimming is a fantastic exercise.
1. It makes you stronger
Swimming has a positive influence on building your muscles. Did you know that exercising in water could increase the resistance to your muscles by as much as 14 percent over land-based workouts (data Bucknell University). Every single move you make in water, strengthens all your body. So, luckily swimming is a total-body exercise that efficiently uses every muscles group, for example: back, shoulders, legs and arms.
2. Keeps your weight under control
Everybody wants to be (and also stay) fit and burn the most calories in the least amount of time. Swimming is the best solution! It burns up to 360 calories in about half hour on the stroke used. Of course it depends on your weight and speed, but still – burning 360 calories is such a good result. The best workout for you, if you want to lose weight is based on interval training: swim two lengths, catch your breath and then repeat.
3. Reduces blood pressure and cholesterol levels
According to 2010 statistics from the CDC – one to every three Americans over 20 years old has high blood pressure. And one in every six American adults has high cholesterol levels. Swimming laps regulary can help you reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.
4. Improves your mood
It doesn’t matter what exactly is your swimming level, swimming can make you feel better and improve your mental health. Smile and go swimming.
5. Swimming makes you live longer
Swimming and living longer? Yes, correct. Researchers at the University of California discovered that those people who swam had a 50% lower death rate than runners or those who just didn’t do any exercises. Moreover, did you know that swimming can reduce your biological age by 10-20 years!
