Using Your All-Weather Pool for Exercise
Did you know an All-Weather Pool (also known as a swim spa) is not just for relaxing and having fun? It’s also a great way to exercise at home regardless of the season! All-Weather Pools provide an ideal environment for a wide variety of workouts, all from the comfort of your own backyard! Here are some tips for exercising in your All-Weather Pool.
Types of Exercises
There are many different types of exercises that can be performed year-round in your swim spa thanks to its superior insulation, efficient heater, and strong current jets. Here are some of the most popular fitness activities to choose from:
Swimming Laps
If your Arctic Spas® All-Weather Pool is equipped with a counter-current system, you can enjoy the perfect environment for swimming, no matter your skill level.
For even more enjoyment, consider opting for the Monsoon System which features six jets to enhance your fun, entertainment, and fitness.
Or, take your aerobic training to the next level with the Arctic Spas® Niagara Counter Current System. This powerful jet can blast water at speeds of up to 27 feet per second, making it perfect for swimmers looking to race against the current. Additionally, the Niagara jet is adjustable both vertically and horizontally, allowing you to customize the flow to meet your specific fitness needs. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced swimmer, this system enhances your workout experience by providing a challenging and enjoyable swim for anyone.
Water Rowing
If you have an Arctic Spas® fitness kit, your swim spa can easily transform into a low-impact exercise machine that is gentle on your joints. This workout mimics traditional rowing movements while utilizing the resistance of the water in your swim spa, making it an excellent option for building strength and endurance without strenuous impact on your body. Whether you’re an experienced athlete or just starting out, water rowing offers a versatile and enjoyable way to stay fit throughout the year.
Aqua Yoga and Pilates
Incorporating aqua yoga and pilates into your swim spa routine is a fantastic way to improve your balance, core strength, and flexibility, all while enjoying the soothing effects of the warm water.
The buoyancy offered by your All-Weather Pool makes for a unique environment that challenges your stability and muscles in a different way than on land. Additionally, these low-impact exercises are perfect for those looking to minimize stress on their joints.
In conclusion, your Arctic Spas® All-Weather Pool is not just a space for relaxation and fun; it’s also a versatile exercise tool that allows you to stay active year-round, regardless of the weather. From swimming laps against a powerful current to engaging in low-impact water rowing and the calming practices of aqua yoga and Pilates, there are countless ways to enhance your fitness routine right in your own backyard.
By taking advantage of the unique features of your swim spa, you can enjoy a variety of workouts that promote strength, endurance, and overall well-being—all while being gentle on your joints. So dive in and make the most of your all-weather pool for a healthier, more active lifestyle!
