The Pool Workout

Pool Workouts

Vacations are much needed to rejuvenate and replenish your stressed out bodies. However, if you are like me, exercise is like brushing my teeth, part of my daily routine. Lets face it though, when on vacation, you probably want to maximize your time with your family or friends, and so it can be hard to pull yourself away and find a convenient gym. If you are at a resort or hotel with a pool, and enjoy some water relaxation, then this 20 min workout is perfect for you! With the resistance from the water, this can be just as an effective workout as being in the gym for 1 hour!
