Use our tips to look great on your float...not look like the float. Get fit and fabulous with smart and simple ideas from Cox Pools!

Water, Baby!

Whittle down your waistline in your own backyard! There is nothing like a swimming pool to get a low-impact, cardiovascular workout. Swimming uses practically every muscle in your body without the added stress on your joints. An easy swim can burn about 500 calories in one hour!

Tummy Tug-O-War

Throughout the day, picture your belly playing tug-o-war with your spine. Practice the tuck until it feels comfortable, and your co-workers will have no idea your exercising while they’re talking away!

H20 Hustle

Want to have a fighting chance at flushing fat? Drink more water. The benefits are endless—healthy skin, reduces bloating, flushes toxins, reduced risk of heart attack, keeps you energized and alert…need we say more?

Fridge Envy

Some of us are lucky enough to be model skinny (not this writer!), but it’s always a nice deterrent from grabbing that last piece of cheesecake in the fridge to see someone else’s flawless figure staring back at you. Find photos online that inspire your willpower to look great in your bikini and post them right by the fridge handle. And don’t look away!

Get a Grip on the Green

While we at Cox Pools are partial to swimming as the ultimate past time, there are tons more leisure activities in conjunction with swimming that are fun AND keep you in shape. Golf, for example, stretches and strengthens those obliques. Not to mention, wouldn’t it be great to have a putting green in your backyard? We install those too, and by spending an afternoon putting you can burn around 350 calories!
