Water workouts are often underrated, but they offer incredible benefits for people of all fitness levels. Whether you’re looking for a low-impact option, a way to add resistance to your workouts, or an opportunity to challenge yourself with high-intensity movements, the pool is a fantastic tool for exercise. Water workouts can also be a great way to cross-train, offering a refreshing change from traditional land-based workouts. Plus, they are perfect for vacations or indoor pools during the winter months, ensuring you can stay active year-round. Here are five key benefits of water workouts and a sample high-intensity pool workout to get you started!

Total Body Boot Camp Workout

May 03, 2019/ Margot Rutigliano

A few weeks ago we did a really great bodyweight workout at the beach during one of the morning sessions of Vita Boot Camp. Everyone agreed it hit all the right spots, challenged them in a number of ways and they felt that fatigue that feels good and bad all at the same time. I like to share the actual workouts we do in Vita Boot Camp every so often. Not only is it a great way for our fitness retreat guests to replicate the workout and do it at home but it also gives all of you a chance to experience some of the real workouts we do at the retreat.

Simple At Home Tabata Workout

We love at home workouts because it means they generally don’t require much equipment (or any at all) and they can be done anywhere. Don’t confuse the word “simple” in our title of this workout though. Although the moves may not be complicated, they are definitely not easy in a Tabata format. For those of you that don’t know what Tabata is, it is an interval format that features 20 seconds of intense exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest 8 times to equal 4 minutes.
