Some benefits of swimming

MNA Life Style Desk: Swimming provides a full-body workout with minimal risk of injury, which makes it an excellent choice for cross-training. Here are some benefits of swimming-

Reduce stress

A study shows that swimmers are less prone to tension, depression, anger and confusion when they’ve been swimming. It means that novice and amateur swimmers can feel just as good as the pros, thanks to the release of feel-good hormone serotonin.

Improve sleep

People who undertake vigorous exercise such as swimming are around twice as likely to report on having a good night’s sleep, according to a poll by the National Sleep Foundation. They’re least likely to report sleep problems, with most avoiding problems like insomnia and waking too early.

Cardiovascular fitness

An obvious place to start is that it will make you fitter, especially if you do it frequently and get your technique nailed down.

Lose weight

Due to the weight-bearing properties of the pool, it serves as an excellent way for overweight people to work out without straining their body. It might not burn calories quickly as some other, more intense, workouts, but it will get the job done in terms of weight loss.
