Cardio: Swimming
Perfect for beating the summertime heat (or escaping the cold in winter), the pool is not only impact-free, but the water is also soothing on sore joints. Swimming requires you to use many major muscle groups including your shoulders, abs, back and legs, and the resistance you overcome when moving through the water helps to build strength. Ease in slowly, and build up to a 30-minute workout five times a week. And don’t forget your goggles!
