If you ask for a single activity that helps tone the entire body, swimming is what most trainers would recommend. It provides multitude of health benefits ranging from good heart health to healthy and strong muscles. The best part is, there is no perfect age to start, and anyone can take up this sport irrespective of their age.

Here are some of the health benefits that swimming has to offer:

1 . Strengthens The Heart And Lungs

Swimming is a great workout for the heart and lungs. It trains the body to efficiently use oxygen. This regulates the resting heart rate and breathing rate.  As per experts, the slower the heart beats, the better it is for your health and the longer you live.

2 . Relieves Joint Pain

When you are swimming, the water’s buoyancy i.e. force that the water exerts on the body, cushions the body and helps in reducing stress on the joints. This lowers the pain. Swimming is often recommended to arthritis patients.

3 . Strengthens The Muscles

Water provides more resistance than air, 12 times more to be precise, which is why swimming is more effective in strengthening the muscles when compared to running. However, this does not strengthen the bones and you should add weight training exercises to your schedule. Always consult a trainer for weight exercises. Also, since water has more resistance, swimming burns more calories than walking or running.

4 . Relieves Stress

Almost all forms of exercise helps in reducing stress. During exercise there is release of stress reducing hormones. But swimming goes a mile ahead. While swimming, the entire body is involved. You are aware of your movements, your breathing, thereby cutting you off from the external world. It forces you to focus on yourself rather than the surroundings. That is why swimming does a great job of stress reliever.

5 . Burns Body Fat

As already stated above, swimming burns calorie. An hour of easy swim burns 500 calories and a more vigorous one can burn up to 700 calories too. Swimming can be done on daily basis too, since the cushioning effect of water soothes the joints. So, unlike running or strength training which cannot be done daily, swimming is one such activity which you can enjoy regularly.
