Swimming is a great workout for your body that will help you stay fit and healthy. However, the way you do it can have an impact on how much benefit you get from the activity. The most common mistake people make is swimming too little or not at all during the weekdays. This means that they are only getting their exercise in once per day, which doesn’t give them enough time to recover between workouts and could lead to injury. In this blog post we’ll talk about why swimming twice a day can be beneficial for your health and what precautions need to be taken when doing so!
Pros & cons of swimming twice a day
The first thing that needs consideration is your body’s natural circadian rhythm, which can be disrupted by swimming twice a day because it gives off an opposite signal than what we’re used too when sleeping at night or being awake during daytime hours! It may take some time for our bodies get adjusted but this should only last about one or two weeks before things are back on track again with no negative effects from doing so! If possible try not swim late afternoon or in the evening when there isn’t enough daylight left!
By swimming twice a day has its benefits such like increased energy levels due exercise-induced endorphins released into bloodstreams while working out. This kind of exercise also increase your endurance greatly by working out your muscles more than normal once a day swimming schedule.
It seems like there are many benefits but you should always consult your doctor before starting any new activity or if something feels wrong.
Simple guide to swim twice a day
- Get up early in the morning, swim for 15 minutes to 20 minutes and then have breakfast.
- In the afternoon, swim for 30 minutes to 45 minute and then have lunch.
- After spending your day at school or at work, you can swim for another 30 minutes to 45 minutes.
You can also shift your second swimming session earlier, maybe at noon, if your schedule does not allow you to swim in the afternoon. Try not to swim in the evening because the endorphins released during your workout will keep you up at night.
After a few weeks, if the schedule is still too tight for swimming twice in one day and there are no other activities that can be swapped with it (like going to school or work), then cut back on swim time by 15 minutes each session until they’re down from 30-45 minute sessions
Tips for swimming twice a day
Swimming with a buddy is always more fun, but remember that it can be hard to schedule your swim together because you’ll likely be swimming twice each day.
It’s important to stay hydrated at all times and not only during exercise, but also in the years leading up to it. Drinking water before a workout can reduce how your lungs take in fluids and make you perform better than when dehydrated! And for many, drinking plenty of water after workouts is much more effective than taking Gatorade. Dehydration can lead to vomitting, fatigue, dizziness and headaches.
Don’t forget to stretch before you swim! It’s important for your muscles not only when they are cold but also after a long day of sitting at school or work desk too much time in one position can lead back pain as well so it is best that we do some stretches beforehand.
If you want to swim twice a day, it’s always best if your pool pass is unlimited so there will be no trouble with swimming both mornings or evenings without any hassle at all! It also means that when one session ends another can start right away which makes for an easier time of getting into shape
A power nap is another good idea if you intend to swim twice a day. This will help you to stay alert and refreshed for your next swim.
It’s also important to keep in mind that if you are swimming twice a day, it is best not eat anything too heavy before your first swim. This will help us stay light and agile for our second session!
And finally, don’t forget to wear sunscreen! It’s important for your skin not only when it is hot but also after a long day.
Final thought
Swimming twice a day may sound tempting because of its benefits, but remember: swimming twice a day may not lead to 2x the result. You might feel to have more energy than a single session swimming per day, but does that worth the effort. That totally depends on you and your lifestyle.
Have fun swimming.
