Working out at the gym in the hottest days of summer can be dreadful. The sweat emanating from the body can result in many skin problems and cause dehydration among most of us, not to forget the unrelenting heat. Summer is the longest season in India and staying indoors all the time isn't a possibility either.
Those who have access to a public swimming pool or a shallow water body can make the most of the summer months by taking their favourite physical activities into the water! Aquatic workouts are not only fun but they also keep you hydrated and resistant to injuries on days the mercury rises to its highest.
Not only swimming, but other water-based workouts can prevent and cure various health problems such as:
Working out in the pool increases stability, improves posture as well as the balance of the body. Comparable to a land-based workout, aquatic exercises also help in gaining strength, stamina and flexibility.
So, instead of suffering under the punishing summer sun, why not beat the heat and make the swimming pool your gym?
