Here is a great swim workout that can get you back into the pool and in Summertime shape:
Memorial Day weekend for many of us marks the opening of outdoor pools (Not that i've forgotten the true meaning of Memorial Day-Remembering those passed who have served in our armed forces). I get so excited during this time of year, especially with my two nephews being eager to splash around. I'm also pumped because swimming is one of my favorite activities and exercises. Swimming is a total body workout, so it burns lots of calories, but is also easy on the joints. It's also both a cardio and strength exercise because water creates resistance. Gotta love exercises that check off all my boxes! Here is a great swim workout that can get you back into the pool and in Summertime shape: Reminder: A 25 typically refers to 25m of the pool or one length. A 50 is a lap (down and back). If your pool is not a set number of yards just replace the 25 and 50 with length and lap! Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
