Treading Water

Members Were Sparked

Challenge yourself to achieve 10 minutes treading water this summer. I could only do 30 seconds when I started last year, but got up to 5 minutes in about 8 sessions. A great workout with no joint stress!

Exercise in a pool

Water workouts are amazing and much easier on the joints. In the summer it's a great place to workout whether inside or outside. Just treading water burns an amazing amount of calories. Use styrofoam weight for a great upper body workout because the water resistance really makes a difference.

Summer Pool Time

Even when it seems like it's too hot outside to do anything productive...there is always a pool open somewhere. Swimming is a great way to burn calories without much effort. Just treading water helps burn those pesky calories in a jiffy. I went swimming for an hour yesterday then tracked it on here and it ended up being over 1000 calories burned. Last one in is a rotten egg!

If you get bored swimming laps in your pool just keep moving. Jump around, swing your arms, jog in place, tread water. Don't just jump in to cool off - move.
