The internet is full of weight loss success stories. People who have done everything from the strange and bizarre to those who lost it with exercise videos and home workouts. However, for every success story, there are countless others who tried and failed. That was the case with Meredith in this fit 4 life story: https://endlessfitness.com/endless-pools-fit4life-stories-meredith-makes-losing-weight-enjoyable-with-water-exercise/
She had tried it all, but nearly everything she tried was too painful and yielded very little results. Even though she knew that swimming was a great way to exercise for those with joint pain, she also knew that she did not enjoy swimming and if you are going to stick with something you need to be able to enjoy it.
Fortunately for her, someone let her in a little insider info…swim spas aren’t just for swimmers. They aren’t! There are actually several ways to use an Endless Pools swim spa that doesn’t include swimming.
Underwater Treadmill
One of the most popular ways that an Endless Pools Swim Spa can be used is with an underwater treadmill. Like in the video above, many people enjoy walking or running on a treadmill, but the pain they experience in their joints, keep them from doing what they love. With an underwater treadmill, the water relieves the pressure on your joints allowing you to run or walk without pain. Adding the water resistance of an Endless Pool creates a whole body workout that will leave you feeling rejuvenated rather than leaving you in pain.
Water Weights
Investing in water weights is another great way to use your swim spa that has nothing to do with actually swimming. The weights come in various levels of resistance that mimic the varied heaviness of traditional weights. As with the treadmill, your body is experiencing the benefits of weightlifting, but not the pain and muscle strain that occurs with traditional weight training.
Water Yoga
Yoga is a popular form of exercise that has taken on many different forms, including water yoga. The peace and tranquility that most people find in the water adds to all of the benefits that yoga offers the body and mind. A quick search will lead you to many poses that would be perfect to do in your Endless Pools swim spa.
Even if swimming isn’t your thing, an Endless Pools swim spa could be the perfect form of exercise for you. Who knows, you may end up like Meredith, spending so much time in the water that you decide you really do enjoy swimming after all.
