Water activities of all kinds whether it is swimming, aerobics, resistance training or even simply walking in water have proved to be effective methods of exercising and effectively working out.\u00a0 These water routines help in strengthening a woman\u2019s body and simultaneously improve her stamina along with calorie burning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Increases cardiovascular stamina: <\/b><\/p>\n

Swimming is an activity that puts a pressure on the heart and lungs, thereby increasing cardiovascular capacity and stamina and improving it as well.\u00a0 Over the course of time, the lungs become accustomed to the breathing pattern while swimming and become more efficient.\u00a0 An enhancement in cardiovascular stamina also helps to burn more calories with the intensity of the exercise.\u00a0 Swimming is particularly beneficial for women as it keeps cholesterol levels and blood pressure under control, thereby reducing the susceptibility to heart disease and stroke.<\/p>\n

Swimming is a low-impact workout:<\/b><\/p>

\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n

When you submerge in water, you are 90% buoyant. This means that if a woman chooses to walk in water, then the impact would only be experienced by 10% of her body.\u00a0 This exercise is particularly recommended with those suffering from joint pains or injuries, as it does not involve high-impact exercises.\u00a0 Swimming is also very beneficial for women suffering from weak bones or osteoporosis.<\/p>\n

Swimming helps in building muscles:<\/b><\/p>\n

A water workout also implies 12-14% more resistance when compared to land exercises; hence, a woman would end up burning more calories when working out in the water.\u00a0 Swimming requires movement of all the muscles in propelling one\u2019s body forward- literally helping a woman to work out all the muscles of her body.\u00a0 Swimming not only helps to tone up muscles, but it also helps in strengthening the upper, lower and core body.\u00a0 In addition, the higher resistance due to the water impact ensures that your muscles do not get injured from jerky movements.<\/p>\n

Swimming is a comfortable way of exercising during pregnancy:<\/b><\/p>\n

Due to the buoyant effect, pregnant women are recommended to swim or exercise in water, rather than on land.\u00a0 Since swimming helps to build up muscular and cardiovascular strength, therefore it enables the pregnant woman to master the breathing techniques that are useful during labour.\u00a0 Swimming is a great way to de-stress and it helps women sleep better as it eases anxiety pangs.<\/p>\n
