From increased circulation and the benefits to your overall heart health to soothing sore muscles, hot tubs simply provide a great solution to alleviate pain, while providing a lot of fun. What many people don’t realize is that you can also get a really good workout in a hot tub despite the space restrictions.

Because the water in a hot tub offers the exact same amount of resistance that a traditional pool or swim spa offers, you can really work those muscles and get a healthy resistance based workout with just a few simple alterations to the way you would work out in a pool.

In the past, swimming whenever you liked meant that you had to have a full size pool installed in your back yard. No matter whether you chose an in ground or above ground pool, you still had to pay quite a bit of money for a pool that only allowed you to use it for a part of the season.

Weather has and will always play a huge role in deciding exactly when you can use the pool that you just spent a fortune to install and that is not only unfortunate but also quite unnecessary.

Just as sitting in a warm bath can have therapeutic effects on your body, a soak in a hot tub can have even a greater impact on your tired and sore muscles.
