Summer is here and it is hot and humid.\u00a0 Many of my clients walk or run.\u00a0 When summer hits they stop all of that wonderful calorie burning until cooler weather arrives.\u00a0 This is an opportunity to simply change the way you see exercise in the summer.\u00a0 So many people have pools at there home and never use them to workout it.\u00a0 Here at the Train Station we do wonderful pool training workouts.<\/p>\n
Working out in the water is such a wonderful way to give your joints a break and still challenge your fitness level.\u00a0 If you have a pool at home it is great place to get a workout in and stay cool during the summer.\u00a0 Get some simple equipment like noodles and water shoes for a great workout.\u00a0 The water shoes will give you a safe grip for the bottom of the pool so you can move easy and harder without hurting your feet.\u00a0 The noodle is all you need to workout.<\/p>\n
Here are a few exercises you can do on your own to keep in shape in your pool, or even at your neighborhood pool while your kiddos are playing around.<\/p>\n
Straddle your noodle like a bike and run in the water.\u00a0 Water running is a great cardio workout and you really can feel like you are free running but with constant resistance.\u00a0 Throw in some intervals during your running to challenge yourself.<\/p>\n
Stand on the noodle with one leg in the deep end of the pool and try to balance.\u00a0 Alternate legs 2-3 times.<\/p>\n
Hold the noodle out in front of you and try to run that way.\u00a0 It is a huge difference in balance and effort.<\/p>\n
In the shallow end of the pool run back and forth for speed, add some jump squats and jumping jacks.<\/p>\n
Use these exercise and make\u00a0a routine and repeat it 3-5 times.<\/p>\n
Before you know it you have worked out for 30 minutes and stayed cool and refreshed while doing it.<\/p>\n
Happy Summer Training,<\/p>\n
