Yes, you really CAN get a good workout in the pool. You just don't feel it until you go to get OUT of the pool.
First, make sure you're comfortable in the water. Especially in the deep water. At no point do my feet touch the bottom of the pool (unless I've jumped in the shallower end of the deep water.) If you haven't been swimming in a while (in my case, a LONG while), then give yourself a few warm up laps to get your bearings. Let your lungs adjust.
Once you're comfortable, try a few laps at a steady pace doing the breast stroke. It may take you awhile to build up the lung capacity to go back to a freestyle, so start slow.
When you're good doing a solid 20 minutes of the breast stroke back and forth, then you're ready to add in the HIIT portions of this workout.
These workouts have been both invigorating and exhausting. I hate feeling sticky and sweaty after a workout, no such issues with these.
Stay tuned for more unique workouts!
