Choosing the right swimming style is more effective. 4 swimming styles to exercise muscle groups

Swimming can be said to be the first choice of exercise in the hot summer. Not only can you temporarily get rid of the high temperature in the water, but swimming is also an excellent whole-body aerobic exercise that can improve overall muscle endurance. Different swimming styles can also exercise different muscle groups. Which swimming style do you usually prefer?

Freestyle - Arms, Shoulders

The most basic freestyle involves alternating rowing movements with both hands, combined with alternating up and down kicking movements of the legs and feet. The pushing movement of the arms under the resistance of the water can effectively exercise the biceps (upper arms), triceps (butterfly sleeves) and shoulders.

Supine - Latissimus dorsi (back muscles)

Want to wear a backless top or bikini without exposing your back to excess fat? By paddling backward and squeezing the back in the backstroke, you can extend and stretch the muscles of the back and arms, exercise the latissimus dorsi, and make the back muscles firm. The backstroke's foot movements from the thighs to the toes, which are similar to throwing water upwards, can also exercise the buttocks and front of the thighs.

Frog pose - quadriceps femoris (front thigh), hip adductor muscles (inner thigh)

The leg movement of the frog pose is to bring the legs together with the knees as the center, then draw them inward, push and clamp them outwards, and then breathe while making circles with the hands outwards. It emphasizes the coordination of the body. Different from the leg movements of freestyle and supine vector, it can effectively strengthen the front of the thigh (pushing the legs) and the inner thigh (clamping water), making the thighs tighter and visually appearing slimmer.

Butterfly pose - pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, rectus abdominis (abdominal core)

The butterfly style mainly emphasizes the training of the upper body muscles. The arms are used to expand the chest and propel forward by paddling outwards, while the feet use the abdominal core to drive the swing of the lower body. However, due to the resistance of water, girls need stronger muscle strength, endurance and better coordination to swim the butterfly style. It is an advanced project in swimming training.

Tips:

Because girls have different innate physiological conditions from boys, they will not become hunchbacked or have an inverted triangle body shape like an athlete through normal intensity self-training. Instead, they will become stronger and have more toned figures. If you want to make the fitness effect more obvious, remember to combine it with diet control (not dieting), weight training, and cross-training with other sports such as jogging or flywheel.
