Pool exercises

Does a pool help you lose weight?

Scientifically proven slimming pool training. Water produces high resistance, which increases muscle tension during standard movement. At the same time, the joints and spine get minimal pressure. This condition ensures the effect of being in the pool without the risk of injury, regardless of whether the person can swim.

During swimming in the pool, up to 600 kilocalories are burned in one hour. With vigorous exercise, this figure can be increased to 1000 kcal. Regular exercise gives a positive effect after a month in the pool.

Swimming does not apply to muscle gain. This sport strengthens the muscles and gives them endurance. Therefore, it is almost impossible to pump strong arms or torso while trying to lose weight.

Swimming is popular because of several advantages:

  • quick effect of burning fat storage;
  • strengthens the respiratory and cardiovascular systems;
  • effects on almost all muscle groups;
  • minimum number of contraindications;
  • has a positive effect on flexibility, definition and posture.

For weight loss, it is recommended to exercise in the pool 8 to 12 times a month.

Advantages of Swimming Pool Training

Swimming against excess weight is more effective for women than men. Pool exercises use more calories than running. Depending on the style of swimming, the following are baked during each lesson:

  • 500 kilocalories - rabbit;
  • 520 kilocalories - breast stroke;
  • 560 kilocalories - at the back;
  • 570 kcal - butterfly.

In addition to destroying body fat, swimming:

  • prevents the development of flat feet;
  • stimulates lung function;
  • maintain a woman's physical fitness in position;

Warm up before swimming

To burn excess weight, the water temperature in the pool should be between +24 to +28 degrees Celsius. During training, you need to change styles. Before swimming, heat: before soaking in water, and afterwards. In the early stages, the training period must be 30 minutes. In the future, class time increases to 1 hour.

For weight loss, we recommend swimming intensively - at the beginning of a workout, slow and relaxed - at the end. After class, you can not eat food for an hour and a half to combine the effects.

You can take advantage of your pool workouts by combining swimming and water aerobics.
