Synchronized swimming is called one of the most beautiful sports. Elegant, spectacular and refined, he is a performance in the water of various figures to music. Since this requires special, to some extent, feline grace and flexibility, this is in most cases involved in the fair sex. But despite the apparent lightness, they experience enormous loads, showing miracles of endurance, elegantly performing very complex movements and figures. Therefore, athletes have a good physical shape.
Fighting extra pounds
If the discharge of extra pounds is not in the first place, gymnastics in the water will still be useful, as it improves metabolism, burning calories. During synchronous swimming, almost all muscles are involved, blood circulation is stimulated, breathing is trained and the work of internal organs is improved.
A similar method will suit a person with a lot of excess weight. Since in water the load on the musculoskeletal system is much less, the effect of "hydro-weightiness" will allow performing exercises of almost any complexity without experiencing difficulties associated with the mass of the body. Experts recommend swimming to develop stagnant muscle sites in people who rarely do sports, as they say, accustoming to stress. The simplest gymnastics of this kind can be dealt with even by pensioners (but those with heart problems, asthma or other respiratory disorders should exercise caution and consult with doctors, entrusting them with the choice of a set of permissible exercises). With regular training, more than 400 calories per hour will be burned.
Moving in the water, it is necessary to overcome the additional resistance associated with its density, which improves the final result without much effort.
Perfect workout
The easiest exercises will help "pull up" the press, strengthen the muscles of the legs and hands, get rid of the problem areas on the sides, spread the spine. In order for the training to produce the desired effect, it is often necessary to change the way of swimming, alternating loads with relaxation. For example, 15 minutes of calm style for warming up, then active exercises, and complete the approach with a little rest on the surface of the water. And so several times. It is important not to work on wear and tear, trying to implement complex acrobatic numbers seen on the broadcast of the Olympic Games, but to work productively. Excessive loads during swimming can have an undesirable effect on an unprepared organism - instead of the rapid evaporation of fat, the body will arrange a riot, showing pain in the muscles that the technique is fundamentally not true.
Minimal number of injuries
Unlike many sports, the risk of serious injuries while practicing synchronized swimming is minimal. And with due follow the recommendations of the coach it will be a combination of pleasant and useful. The recommendations themselves mean that if you say 30 minutes to swim, then most of the time you need to actively move, and not lie on the surface or stand at the edge.
In addition to burning fat, swimming develops flexibility and speed, trains dexterity, endurance, has a positive effect on the body.
By itself, this beautiful and spectacular sport is the fruit of persistent training of female athletes who train for years to create stunning figures. The seeming ease of movement, unfortunately, is not available without serious preparation, so it is necessary to assess your abilities sensibly and not to try to repeat the movements of synchronizers.
To lose weight, enough regular lessons. Only after a certain time, spent without trying to shirk, it will be possible to perform equally graceful figures.
