Step 1
Any physical activity, to a greater or lesser extent, helps burn calories. Swimming in the pool is no exception. You can lose weight and get in shape with the help of swimming, the main thing is to know what exactly to do for this. Experts say that even to keep his body afloat, a person spends about 300 calories per hour. Accordingly, with active training, much more energy can be expended.
Step 2
Swimming has several advantages over other physical activities. This is due to the fact that the water "dampens" the impact force and the load on the spine, the joints are not as strong as on land. Pool exercises are considered the least traumatic as compared to other workouts. And there are several times fewer contraindications for swimming than for other sports. Swimming in the pool develops flexibility of joints, normalizes blood pressure and activates metabolic processes. This is the undoubted advantage of such training.
Step 3
In order for swimming in the pool to lead to the desired weight loss, it is important to develop a training program, thanks to which the student will always be in motion. Only this approach will allow you to achieve weight loss. The first point of any activity should be a warm-up. In the pool, this can be done as follows: you need to take a special board for swimming, holding on to it with one hand, swim a little crawl, then change your hand and repeat the action.
Step 4
Those people who do not have the skills of various types of swimming are advised to learn, as this will allow them to work out their muscles as much as possible. So, for example, the classic crawl burns calories perfectly: about 570 per hour of training. The breaststroke will help strengthen the muscles in the legs and hips, the butterfly will work the abs, arms and legs, and will also have a beneficial effect on the health of the spine. Swimming on the back is very helpful. It has a positive effect on posture and helps to remove fat deposits on the sides. It is important to do the exercise correctly while doing this. It is recommended to alternate the movements of the arms and legs. That is, at first, the student actively works with his hands, performing swings back. And then, on the contrary, he focuses on his legs.
Step 5
In order for training in the pool to help you lose weight, you need to do it 3-4 times a week. Moreover, each workout should last at least 45 minutes. It is important to spend all this time in motion, changing the types of swimming, or simply holding one hand on the side, swing your legs in different directions. The main thing is not to stop. After swimming, you should refrain from food and carbonated drinks for at least an hour. This will speed up the weight loss process.
