Exercises You Can Try in Your Swim Spa

Soaking in a hot tub relieves stress and reduces body pain along with muscle tension. Aside from this, you can also benefit greatly from your hot tub by doing a swim spa exercise. We have listed in this blog article some activities you can do in your at-home spa. Read on to find out which ones you can try out with your loved ones. 

1. Swimming
   Because of the high-powered jet stream from your hot tub, swimming in it offers resistance while swimming in place. This makes it an even more effective workout than traditional laps in a swimming pool. So, try swimming in your swim spa to eliminate muscle tension. 

2. Squats
   Regular squats strengthen glutes, thighs, and core. But doing squats in water helps improve the mobility of the knee joint. First, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Then, bend your knees while pushing your butt back and down, as if sitting in a chair. Make sure that you keep your back straight and that your knees don’t go in front of your toes. You can also raise your arms out to your chest level. 

3. Torso Twists
   Another good swim spa exercise you can try is torso twisting. Start with feet shoulder-width apart and then make an X by crossing your arms across your chest. Slightly twist your upper torso left and right while tightening your stomach muscles. Make deep breaths as you twist slowly from left to right and vice versa.  

4. Yoga
   Stretching is good, but doing so in water is even better. Hot tub yoga is a perfect swim spa exercise you can try to reduce body aches and relax muscle tensions. The warm water will lighten your every movement and make it easier to hold different yoga poses. 

5. Walking
   For a simpler swim spa exercise option, try walking. Turn on your hot tub’s jet system for an added challenge by walking against the current. So, the next time you feel like going for a walk, get into your swim spa and try walking in the water.
