Knees to Elbows Stand in your pool, then bring one elbow down to meet the opposite knee. Move them faster, not higher, for the best workout. It might be fun to splash the kids, but you’ll burn more calories if you keep your legs underwater. Flutter Kick With a firm grip on the edge of the pool, a noodle, or your paddleboard, swiftly kick your legs behind you. Hold your weight firmly in your hand, keep your elbow at your side, and lift the weight in and out of the water. Bicep Curl Doing a traditional bicep curl when you’re in the pool means you get twice the workout, because you build strength when you lift the weight up, and you work harder to lower your arm because of the resistance of the water. This exercise is a great one because you fight against your body’s natural buoyancy to control your legs, which is a great way to build strength. If it’s too difficult, sit on the edge of the pool and build your strength so you can one day do this exercise in the pool. Keep your legs straight and together as you lift them. Double Leg Lift Lean back on the edge of your pool with your legs straight down, then left them up as high as you can. It’s a great way to work your legs, your core, and your shoulders. If the edge of the pool isn’t available or doesn’t work right, rest your elbows on a pool noodle, instead. Rest your elbows on the edge of the pool and then pedal an imaginary bike with your feet. Underwater Bicycle Biking is a great way to burn calories, and you don’t need any special equipment to do this exercise in your swimming pool. This is a great workout, but it’s not the only one. When you think of burning calories in the pool, the first thing you think of is swimming laps. Swimming is an exercise that you can do no matter your age, and the water makes it possible for people to exercise even if they normally can’t on dry ground. No matter the reason you bought your pool, you can take advantage of the fitness benefits.
