In this article, we will look at burning fat in the water, specifically through swimming. An alternative method, which harmoniously combines the correct training of all the muscles of the body, the improvement of the cardiorespiratory system and the slimming, combined with minimal burden on the body.
As in any fitness program, before entering the pool, a proper warm-up outside the water is needed. Indicatively, the warm-up will include active stretching of the main muscle groups, starting from the head and ending with the legs. Alternatively, exercises with a training strap before entering the water are recommended by many gymnasts as a warm-up, without any physical burden, of course.
Swimming strengthens all muscle groups, harmoniously and without the possibility of injury. In contrast to the gym, this result is achieved, whether the exercise performed is aerobic, i.e. endurance, or at high intensity anaerobic lactate and strength endurance. By adding variety to the program, by alternating style and pace, we have the best result in fat loss and muscle tissue growth.
Also, it is legitimate to work all swimming styles, along with their warm-ups, changing the program at very regular intervals. This results in appropriate adaptations in the muscles, since the body, if it gets used to a certain exercise tempo for a long time, does not bring about the desired result. That is, it needs a different movement or exercise to start the adaptation again.
Of course, in addition to the styles, the rhythm that will be followed also plays an important role. A key factor influencing this variable is the practitioner's level. In this, contact with the water plays an important role and not how good physical condition or how fit the person who will enter the water is. More specifically for a beginner, the most ideal is aerobic exercise, i.e. increasing endurance in the water environment. Read the full article at my-Fitness.gr.
