Exercise Pool
We all laughed when our buddy decided to install an exercise pool in his home….but he is the one laughing at us now. We were over his house last week and gave this pool a try…you know which ones I’m talking about….the one that I’m sure you have a seen a TV commercial on, where a guy is swimming in place in a pool that looks like a giant tub. Well, let me tell you, it is FUN and great exercise.
I would have never believed in the use of this until I actually tried it myself. And, let me tell you, I am thinking about putting one in my home. This exercise pool has so many uses, it can be used as a Rehab Pool by my wife as she is recovering from back surgery. I can use it as a Swim Spa to relax and exercise at the same time, and my parents can use it for Aquatic therapy so that they can get the low impact exercise they need.
The best thing about this pool is that it is compact and does not require the costly maintenance of a larger regular pool. The trade off is that this pool is solely for exercise and is indoors so you can use it any time, as opposed to having a full size back yard pool where you can actually paly in the water. 15 minutes of stationary laps in this pool is such great exercise that your body shapes up in no time. If you already workout, this pool will just add to your routine, and if you are thinking about working out, this is ideal because it is fun and low impact.
