Your 'Go To' Shoe Is:
You Should Try Lap Swimming
You Should Try Lap Swimming
No other workout burns calories, boosts metabolism, and firms every muscle in your body (without putting stress on your joints) better than a swimming workout.
because water is nearly 800 times denser than air, each kick, push, and pull is like a mini resistance workout for your entire body—especially your core, hips, arms, shoulders, and glutes.
In addition to blasting calories as you swim, you build lean muscle, which ignites your metabolism so that you burn more calories once you've showered and dried off.
Need another bonus? Water basically neutralizes gravity, so you become virtually weightless when immersed, giving your joints a much-needed vacation.
You Should Try Water Aerobics
You Should Try Water Aerobics
Regular dry land aerobic classes might not be your cup of tea if you’re not overly competitive or you’re on the shy side.
The benefit of water aerobics is more than half of your body is submerged in the water so your peers can’t really see how you’re doing a move, so you’ll likely feel more confident even if you do make some mistakes.
Water aerobics can also be done on your own - most pools have equipment for you to use - or pick up your own so your workouts can travel with you when you're out of town.

You Should Try Water Walking
You Should Try Water Walking
Did you think running and walking could only happen on the trail and treadmill? Nope!
Walking & running in the pool is a great workout without compressing your joints.
Beginners should start in the shallow end of the pool, joining more experienced aqua joggers in the deep end when comfortable. Buoyancy belts keep you alfoat so you can keep good standard running form - head up and tall posture.
You Should Try Water HIIT
You Should Try Water HIIT
High Intensity Interval Training involves brief bursts of very high-intensity work followed by a recovery period. Studies have shown that these intense bursts of exercise boost your metabolism and may burn more total calories than steady state cardio.
Buoyancy properties allow you to move with ease, which in in turn allows you to work out at a higher intensity with less impact on the body. Water provides between 4 and 42 percent more resistance than air due to the water’s viscosity, which creates resistance in all directions of movement and provides a cardiovascular overload that is perfect for your HIIT workouts.
