Training with clients at the Supreme Court Gardens last week, one of them referred to it as the Supreme Court Swimming Pool. Perth has been inundated with rain these last few weeks, and it doesn't look to be over yet!
If you're a lover of functional, outdoor training, the bad weather can often become an easy excuse for getting out of training.
But when it starts to sprinkle, dive in with a splash! Head down to your local swimming pool and get in some laps. Swimming is a great all over body workout, and training in the water can provide new benefits that you wouldn't get in your outdoor park session. Swimming has all of these amazing benefits:
- Increases muscle tone and strength
- Improves VO2 max
- Improves flexibility
- Burns calories
- Increases heart health
- Builds endurance and cardiovascular fitness
So quit making excuses in the rain - find your nearest swimming pool and head there for a swim after work. Best of all, swimming is actually good FUN! If it isn't a part of your usual fitness regime, give it a crack, you might just find that you love it.
