|
|
Pilates has caught on almost as fast as yoga in the past several years even though it’s been around for the last century.

Benefits of Swimming
|
|
Many of us can remember when we were younger and we could spend hours upon hours swimming in the pool without feeling an ounce of muscle pain the next day. This is because being submerged in the water has a great way of cushioning our joints and protecting our bones. Aside from helping us beat the heat, swimming is a great form of exercise.
