September's Physical Fitness Tip of the Month: 

Starting a Swim Routine

Swimming can be a great cardio exercise that is easy on your joints.  However, to those who don't swim regularly, it can seem like a daunting task to start swimming on the regular.  Here are some tips if you are interested in swimming on a beginner's level:

• Start with workouts that focus mostly on form and swim for shorter distances (400-800 meters)
• Swim about three times a week
• Make sure you always do a warm-up, skill set, and then a cool-down to care for your muscles

Disclaimer: Be mindful of your physical abilities and medical conditions.  Weight train at your own pace and respect your body's limitations.  The Raeda Group, PLLC provides these tips only as suggestions for a healthier body.
