FITNESS FRIDAY: Cool off and get your workout!

FITNESS FRIDAYS is provided by: Sports.Peace.Love

The record breaking temperatures and nation-wide heat waves are enough to stiffle anyone’s workout regimen. You can still get fit, be cool, and have fun with pool workouts. Pool workouts are a great way to combine your time with family and friends and without missing a workout. Water is one of the best fitness tools: It provides resistance, which strengthens muscles and boosts cardio intensity. It also supports some of your weight, making workouts easier on joints and reducing injury. This pool workout from Gaby Reece, is a great way to get started. So jump in to your next pool workout this weekend!
