Do you struggle with the generic idea of ‘exercise’?  Is your worst nightmare a morning spent in the gym with weights and cardio machines you neither understand nor enjoy?

The kind of exercise we normally benefit most from is the type that we can a) fit into our lifestyle and b) enjoy.  A huge regime that taxes us mentally rather than physically, leaving us dreading the next session will never be our best source of toning or dropping pounds.

If we can instead replace this terrible thought with something more realistic then surely we can make exercise work alongside a controlled diet for maximum results.

We firmly believe that when you are faced with a weight loss plan that may already be daunting the best method of exercise is low impact and gentle to begin.

Swimming is usually overlooked as a method of exercise and more widely considered a leisure activity but research shows that in fact it is much more beneficial than most high impact exercise we usually turn to.

In comparison, 30 minutes of breaststroke will burn 367 calories whereas 30 minutes of cycling will burn 240 calories and 30 minutes of running 300 calories.

Great news for those that find their size causes them breathing difficulties when exercising – in water you will find weight less restricting than usual.

Most gyms or leisure clubs offer swimming facilities and most will run classes such as aqua aerobics so if you feel you are ready and want something more challenging and structured there are options available.

Swimming is the perfect answer for families too – it’s a fantastic way to introduce exercise to children and because they can join in you won’t find it difficult to fit into your schedule because you won’t need a babysitter!
