Greater physical freshness is within the grasp of anyone willing to exercise regularly. & it can be fun. For instance, take to the water for an exercise routine that’s all action & result. Even if you’re happier in the shallow end & wouldn’t dream of going right under, you can still be in the swim of things.
Swimming is a good all-round exercise & stretches the body, provided the strokes are done properly. It is also relaxing & can improve stamina if doe strongly & regularly. It is excellent exercise for training up to a good level of fitness; water creates resistance for you to work against.
Even if you can’t always get along to a pool or only have access to an outdoor one, resolve to keep yourself trim with indoor training. A bed provides a wonderfully convenient support for swimming exercise. Lie face down, feet together, with hips supported by the bed & the rest of the body projecting over the side. Keep hands on the floor & legs, body & head straight & level. Gradually lower the body until elbows and forehead touch the floor. Now, slowly straighten arms and raise head and body to the horizontal. Take care to breathe properly; breathe in deeply as you raise the body and breathe out as you lower yourself. From the same position, go on to raise each leg in turn as far as you can, making sure you keep legs straight. Again, from the same position, open legs as far apart as they will go and slowly bring them back together again.
Now lie flat on your back and, keeping legs together, bring your knees up over your chest as far as you can. Clasp hands over ankles and try to touch the knees with the forehead. Slowly straighten legs out and lie flat on the bed.
For beginners and keen swimmers alike, here are some water exercises that’ll get results. Repeat both exercises 3 times, building up to 20, two or three times a week.
Lie on tummy, arms stretched on in front, hands gripping side of pool or a float, legs straight and together. Now open legs, making as wide a V as possible. Then bring legs together and swing to right. Repeat to left. Good for waist and hips.
Turn over on to your back. With legs slightly apart, draw circles in the water. At the same time arch your back and bring your chin up, keeping legs straight and pushing them down together into the water. Good for back, thighs and hips.
