What ails you? Do you suffer from joint pain? Do you have an old football injury that has your knee feeling constantly uncomfortable? Maybe you’re simply feeling the effects of wear and tear on a body from a happy and long life.

There can be any number of reasons that traditional exercise is next to impossible, regardless of how active you want or need to be for your health. Even simply going for a walk can be difficult and painful for some. Instead, you have to look at low impact exercise options to get in the health benefits of activity without making your current problems worse.

That’s where a H2X Swim Spa comes in.

The constant, measured current from the spa jets allows you to build endurance and strengthen muscles, as opposed to swimming in a traditional pool without significant current. Swimming keeps your heart rate up for cardiovascular benefits, with less impact stress on your body. Your heart and lungs will be grateful, and your body weight more manageable.

In addition to swimming, Michael Phelps Swim Spas provide a vast array of exercise equipment and regimen possibilities, all of which minimize the impact on problem areas, such as bad joints or an injured knee.

Aquatic tread mills and bikes give you the opportunity to do the cardio workouts your body may need, while the buoyancy of the water drastically reduces the impact these machines would have on your joints if you did them in a gym. Get some water weights for low impact strength training too. Or simply put together your own workout regimen in your swim spa to maximize help to your own problem areas.

Of course, there’s the added benefit of a swim spa taking up less space in your yard than a pool, and coming equipped with a hot tub to help with relaxation after a vigorous workout.

All around, it’s a must have for anyone seeking a healthier lifestyle.
