Swimming For Runners

As winter approaches, you are probably not eager to go running out into the cold. However, you need to find a way to keep fit through these cold times. Why not try taking a dip in a heated pool or swim spa? Swimming and water running are great ways to keep up with your fitness routine and enjoy their unique benefits.

Benefits Of Swimming

Swimming is a discipline that is often more familiar to triathletes rather than running. However, swimming is a great way to maintain fitness when you may find it tough to continue running. For example, if you find yourself with a running-related injury you may be unable to run during the healing process.

Unlike running, swimming is a low impact activity that is ease on the joints, but still provides benefits that you can’t get from any other activity. With the water touching every part of your body, your better aware of your body and movement. This allows you to improve your coordination.

Benefits Of Water Running

If your not too keen about swimming itself, water running or aqua jogging may be what your looking for. Water running is a wonderful for giving you a great cardio workout without the impact. When you run normally, you often hurt your joints from the impact of your weight against the hard pavement. However, thanks to the buoyant nature of water, you carry less of your own weight as your running.

Water running can even give you a better workout than average running. Water is much thicker than air which causes a lot more resistance as you run. This added resistance requires you to put more strength and effort into your run with less risk of hurting yourself.

So how do you get the most out of your swim?

Put the benefits of the swimming and water running right into the comfort of your own home with a swim spa or indoor pool. This allows you to get the fitness you need without having to travel anywhere or having to fit your exercise around a public pool’s schedule.
