Summer Shape-up SINK AND SWIM Do squat jumps, run, sprint–cutting through water will superpower your sculpting Laps aren’t the be-all, end-all You can use the pool itself in different ways to sculpt your body. For example, pushing yourself up on the edge of the pool deck to get out of the water deeply strengthens your anterior shoulders and triceps (and will help you pump up your push-ups on solid ground). Do that 20 times – you don’t actually have to get out of the pool each time – between intervals or at the end of your workout for a bonus firmup, Sue says. For a twist on speedy intervals, swim to the deep end of the pool, cross your hands over your chest and kick vertically, keeping your head above water (similar to treading water but without the help of your arms). Aim to do that for two or three sets of five minutes. You can also do power moves, including squat jumps and running, in the shallow end, since the water’s resistance provides an extra challenge, Cece says. You can’t overdo it “Swimming allows you to train everyday while letting your joints recover from the previous day’s workout,” Rachel says Ground-pounding activities like running can’t do that. So what might normally be a rest day can now be an active one without beating your body up too much. And there’s no such thing as a swim hangover – soreness is rare, and typically you’ll actually be able to perform better during your next workout because exercising in water loosens up your body, Gerry says. There are zero distractions When you’re in the pool, you’re detached from the outside world. You can’t e-mail, text or even talk. There’s also a sound that relaxes you when you’re underwater, even though you’re getting a killer workout, Maya says. “It’s very soothing, almost like being swaddled,” she explains. And since more than 90 per cent of your body weight is displaced when you swim, you’ll feel completely supported by the water. “You can think about whatever you want… or not think at all,” Maya says. “It’s an amazing stress reliever.” 42 | SUMMER SHAPE-UP | SHAPE JUNE 2017
