In order to get rid of a few extra pounds, one is enough - a good swim.

Why float? And because swimming is an ideal exercise. It does not give dangerous static loads and takes care of the joints very carefully. Makes many muscles work and strengthens the cardiovascular, lymphatic and autonomic systems.. Stimulates gas exchange in the lungs and increases immunity. And yet, which is very nice, replaces salon massage, especially when it comes to sea water with its high concentration of natural salts. But most importantly - swimming is suitable for losing weight and getting a lot of fun at the same time.

There are rumors that when swimming, you can not lose weight. And experts say that in half an hour of swimming up to 400 kilocalories are burned, and the metabolism is accelerated by half. So swimmers spend 25% more energy than runners, of course, if they are swimmers, not drifting buoys.

If you swim a little better than an ax and the task to stay on the water for at least half an hour for you from the category of "mission impossible", then do not be discouraged! Take advantage of the circumstances and instead of letting your muscles just get wet in the water, learn how to work them to the fullest.

Armed with a ball, an inflatable circle or a mattress - in short, that will allow you not to be afraid to go to the bottom, regardless of how tired you are or how far from the shore you find yourself. In the first days of training, swim for at least half an hour, and gradually bring up to 45-60 minutes.

The first 5 minutes just move in the water for a warm-up, and then grab for your inflatable inventory and start working with your feet. The scheme is this: 5 minutes of movement with your feet, imitating a crawl, 2 minutes of rest, 5 minutes of imitation of a brass, 2 minutes of rest. Crawl you will work quadriceps, hamstrings and buttocks, and the breaststroke will allow to tone the inner and lateral surface of the legs. The latter you will be especially useful if you are familiar with cellulitis, not by hearsay. Of course, "rest" does not mean that you get the right to relax and drift: just the intensity of the workout can be reduced and begin to move at your usual swimming pace.

Plus, set yourself the task of learning how to swim for longer than you could before training. Gradually increase the distance, moving with a low speed. Practice shows that we are capable of more than we expect from ourselves. It's just that we've never even thought of trying to improve our sports performance.

Use the time at the resort as an excellent opportunity not only to relax, but also to please yourself with a noticeably slender figure. And before the holidays, practice in the pool, prepare your body for more intensive loads, especially since on the reservoir your possibilities are unlimited.

Tired of swimming - gather company and go play water polo. Or go to the chest in the water and try to go for a run. From the classic run in the open air, too, do not give up. 10-15 minutes of light troopers before breakfast will accelerate the metabolism, so after such charging you can give yourself at the table indulgence. Remember only that with a full stomach to go swimming is not good: water puts pressure on the abdominal cavity, so between the swim and food intake should take at least an hour.
