Make it fun to be active, and your success rate will increase even more. During the summer months enjoying the water and using it to your advantage not only is fun but it also works very well.

Using water resistance to exercise your muscles will put in motion muscles you did not even know you had!.

Activities such as Swimming, Diving, Rowing, Canoeing or snorkeling are but a few of the many summer options that use water resistance to tone your muscles.

Rowing and Sculling

Regardless of it being practiced outdoors on the water (sculling) or indoors in a gym (rowing machines), either one will produce impressive workout routines. Both develop the cardio vascular system. Muscle tone and definition will be visible in a short period of time.

Sculling is done using narrow and very fast boats. Using 2 oars and working either as a single unit or as part of a team. Additionally, it is a very rewarding outdoor activity that trains your core, arms, legs and anything in between!. Plus the added benefit of being an outdoor activity close to the water where the tranquilizing effect of the ozone in the water is very noticeable.

Rowing Machines use water resistance inside the unit and can produce intense workouts. Having the added benefits of year round workouts, plus the fact that both of these units train your entire body muscles, localized soreness is highly unlikely.

Canoeing

If you are looking for calorie burning activities. There are workouts that will burn the most calories while you are outdoors. How about a canoeing and camping  trip. Using a canoe will give you one of the best workouts. Burn between 450 calories and up to 700 calories per hour plus the fresh air you intake. Work your core, upper body, and build stamina. Much nicer than sitting in the gym. Add to it the camping activities and you will be working towards a great night of rest.

Scuba Diving and Snorkeling

Scuba Diving and snorkeling, are very intensive routines. Burning over 1,000 calories per hour.  It has its drawbacks however. First of all you need specialized gear,  plus it is a learning process, best done in groups. A physicians approval prior to training is suggested. High rewards have drawbacks, yet it is a very good calorie burner.

Swimming

Finally, swimming is a full body workout. A high calorie burning workout. Best of all, you only need a bathing suit and a towel!. Yet, for it to bee a true calorie burner it requires fast swimming. Hence, dunking like a tea bag in a cup wont cut it. If done properly, it will provide e very extensive muscle toning experience.
