Swim

On Saturday last week I went swimming with my friend. Whenever we go to the pool it's not for leisure but we actually work on our strokes! Swimming is one of the best forms of exercise. It's better than running because running can be hard on your ankles and knees but that doesn't happen in swimming. You also have to hold your breath a lot, and if you are trying to get a good speed the water provides a lot of resistance which also makes it a good workout. Sometimes it's hard to tell if you're working hard or not because you don't feel the sweat, but if you are actually trying really hard you will be out of breath quickly. Swimming also helps your muscles. For example, Butterfly is a great core workout. Whenever I do it properly, the next day my abs are really sore. It is also a leg and arm workout because you are constantly kicking and using your arms to keep yourself up!
