If you're becoming sick and tired of riding the bike or running every day. Try something new like swimming a few laps in the pool. Swimming is a great full body aerobic workout that will get your heart pumping. Swimmers have about half the risk of death compared to inactive people and can exercise longer without severe joint or muscle pain compared to running. Exercising in water is not only a great physical workout but a mental workout as well. Both men and women are able to improve their moods by swimming and can also decrease depression. If you can not swim very well you can also always tread on water for an aerobic choice while using a pool. I have tried swimming a few times and I personally think it is one of the best aerobic options because of it's ability to strengthen a variety of muscles while also giving you a great cardiovascular workout. Just always remember to shower immediately after swimming because of the variety of chemicals that swimming pools usually contain.
