Physical fitness and swimming training session directly by the edge of the pool for beginners and time-crunched people!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is our third \u201cworkout tip\u201d for all those who can only allocate a few hours a week for training. The idea is to combine physical fitness exercises with training in the water. The benefit of this is that swimming right after performing physical exercises means your body is optimally physically prepared for swimming.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s table focuses on the legs both out of the water and in the pool. These physical exercises are not ideal for people with knee problems.<\/p>\n

If your knees or some other part of your body hurts, but you still want to do these exercises, my advice is to perform short movements so as not to overload your joints. You will need a set of fins for training in the pool.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To begin with, warm up your muscles by performing mobility exercises for both your upper and lower body.<\/p>\n

Do a set of exercises lying on your stomach that really work your thigh muscles.<\/p>\n

The main part of the session is a circuit of four exercises that will make you use all the muscles in your lower limbs.<\/p>\n

In the water, we suggest alternating fast sections using your legs (with or without fins) and steady swimming in-between.<\/p>\n

Finish with some stretching, particularly for your back and lower body.<\/p>\n

Here is the table of exercises.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, and do not be surprised if you find it harder than usual to get out of bed the next day! \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n
