Check out these exercises to get fit without the expensive gym memberships.

Pack the bag. Don’t forget your towel, headphones, and a bottle of water. Oh, and an extra pair of clothes, a bar of soap, and a change of shoes. Grab your keys and head out the door to the gym.

Kind of a lot, isn’t it? Just to get yourself across town and … sweat?

Not to mention the amount of money you pay for a year’s membership! Factor in the amount of time you actually spend at the gym, and that membership looks even more expensive, doesn’t it?

But there’s actually a great way to get in shape and avoid the pricey gym fees. Invest in a swim spa! You’ll have the ease and convenience of fitness right outside your backdoor, plus the bonus fun features a swim spa provides. Here are four of the top swim spa exercises to get you inspired:

Yoga

One of the latest and greatest yoga crazes is hot tub yoga. Doing yoga in your swim spa is an ideal way to improve your posture and increase your flexibility. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or a beginner, water yoga will help you to relax and sculpt your muscles.

Water Aerobics

This is a great way to get your heart pumping and your body moving. Take all of your favorite aerobic exercises that you would normally do on land and do them in your swim spa. Everything from squats to jumping jacks can transfer.  

HIIT

Have trouble with knee pain? Doing workouts like HIIT that are high impact on land can be difficult for those who have bad knees or other problems. Take the same workouts and do them in your swim spa where the water helps reduce the impact on your joints. HIIT workouts are a great way to get more cardio into your workout.

Zumba

Water Zumba is such a fun way to dance away extra pounds. If you are a fan of the dance party on land, you will love the option of dancing in the comfort of your swim spa! Plus, thanks to the privacy offered by being in your own home, there are no worries about what others will think, either. With the resistance of the water and the low impact benefits, you’ll up your dance routine and dance your way to a fitter you.

Swim spas are a fantastic addition to your fitness routine and your overall lifestyle. Check out the many configurations to find the swim spa that’s best for you. Not sure? We can help!
