It looks like finally spring has decided to visit UK - or at least London. It really wormed up and it seems like we can finally say "Goodbye!" to our winter clothes. But what if you don't fit in your last-summer dress/ T-shirt? Time to shape-up! - get rid of jelly bellies and make use of your muscles! How? Try swimming!

Water exercise is a great way to tone-up. But forget about "poolates" and such - I am talking real swimming here! I know, doing laps is sooo boring but look at it this way: water is 1000 times more dense than air and provides 12 times the resistance, compared to "land rat" workout. At the same time you feel weightless, as water density is very similar to density of human body. And you don't have to worry about your joints as swimming reduces the strain put on them by over 50%. Lest but not last - only 30 minutes of moderate laps burns 280 calories!

If you want to make swimming more fun, try using training aids. They are not just for the beginners - using kickboards and handpadles can not only improve your technique and turn into a pro in the process - by adding resistance they make your workout super-efficient.

So what are you waiting for! Swim yourself slim!!
