Cold weather?

If the cold weather has hampered your workout routine, take it inside for a few laps in the pool. The controlled environment of an indoor swim leaves no excuses as the temperatures continue to drop. Most facilities have a hot tub for a post-swim dip to really warm up before heading back out into the brisk winter air.
Cardio workouts don’t have to suffer just because the weather has changed. The added challenge of controlled breathing during a lap swim adds another dimension to your cardio training. Swimming strokes involve the arms and get the heart going quicker than a running or biking workout, while the cooling and effects of the water allow for a longer, more comfortable workout.
The low impact of a lap swim or other water routine greatly reduces next day soreness, allowing for continued activity, especially for those new to exercise or afraid of discomfort.
