Summer is here! As the heat is getting stronger and stronger, all we are craving is to float in some ice cold, refreshing water. What’s so nice about these summer months is that you don’t necessarily need to head to the gym to get a good workout!

Here are a few water sports that will keep you fit all summer long!

Swimming

Not only does swimming build muscle, you work both the upper and lower parts of your body and it lowers your cholesterol.

Surfing

To all surf lovers, great news! Not only does surfing teach you how to maintain balance, it also makes you work your whole upper body including shoulders and upper back. It’s time to get gnarly!

Water Skiing

Water skiing is great for so many reasons. It works the core intensely, muscles your upper and lower body and keeps your whole body constantly activated! Did you know that you burn around 400 calories by water skiing for 60 minutes?! The perfect way to enjoy those hot summer days, be in the water and still have a good workout!

Water Polo

This is one of the most intense water sports. Water polo makes you work your entire body but especially strengthens your legs and core.
