There’s a lot more to do in the pool besides floating around on an inflatable with a cold drink in your hand.

Exercise? Yeah, you pool owners have your very own floating gym. No membership required.

Besides just floating, the benefits of exercising in your pool are tremendous. For those looking for aerobic-like exercise with low-impact, just walking back and forth in the pool is excellent. Increase your pace to speed up your heart rate. And to make it even more fun, you can race across the pool with your family or friends. Ready, set, GO!

Just moving through the water by swimming is great exercise because it is added resistance, less pressure on your joints and muscles, burns more calories and you’ll stay cool and comfy on those sweltering hot days.

Doing jumping jacks in the shallow end of the pool is also a great exercise, and something anyone can do because you’re much lighter in water.

If you and your family are more into pool basketball, badminton or volleyball, AcePools.com has a whole line of items you can purchase.

We hope you have a healthy and happy summer, and don’t forget, AcePools.com is Where the Pool People Shop!
