6 sporty exercises you can do in the pool

Maybe you're not the type to go to the pool and swim laps, but if you do visit the pool when the weather is nice, it's a great opportunity to do some exercises.

1. Do interval training

The first pool exercise is to swim or tread water as hard as you can for 30 seconds. Then float on your back for 30 seconds and repeat this exercise a few times.

2.Pushups

You are lighter in the water, making a difficult exercise, such as the push-up, a lot easier to perform.

3. Jumping waves

Jumping over the waves is good pool exercise. Fun and being active is the perfect combination. Try to make variations by also jumping backwards or sideways or crossing your legs during the jump. Just like before.

4. Go to a water theme park

To get to the top of the slides you often have to climb a lot of hills and stairs. Work that ass!

5. Playing with a ball

Throw a ball or throw a ball into the water and try to catch it as quickly as possible.

6. Abdominal exercises

Training your abs in the pool is very easy. By walking through the water, you already train your abs. Another exercise:Stand with your back against the edge of the pool and put your elbows on the side. Lift your straight legs so that they are parallel to the surface of the water. Pull your legs towards your chest and extend them out again. You can also pull your legs to the left and right to train your obliques.
