🏊 Swimming

Swimming has been part of my routine since 2022β€”wish I’d started sooner.

πŸ€” Why Swim?​

Swimming is a highly efficient low-impact exercise with unique benefits:

  • Joint-friendly – Gentle on knees, hips, and back, ideal for recovery or mobility issues.
  • Full-body workout – Engages all major muscle groups, improving strength and endurance.
  • Cardio boost – Strengthens heart health, expands lung capacity, and helps regulate blood pressure.
  • Scalable intensity – Works for beginners and advanced athletes alike.

οΏ½ vs Other Exercises​

  • Solo activity – No teams, no distractions. Just you and the water.
  • Meditative rhythm – Repetitive strokes create a natural focus, like moving meditation.
  • Easy consistency – Pools are available year-round, making daily laps practical.
  • Flow state – The zone comes naturally with swimming, no extra effort needed.
