Beat the Heat With These Low-Impact Workout Options

Just because it's hot outside doesn't mean you have to retreat inside. If you aren't into lap swimming, there are other great water-based workouts you can do instead. Whether in your own backyard, your community center, or your gym, these low-impact workouts are easy to slip in during an otherwise chill day on the pool deck.

In addition to its cooling effect, water provides some natural resistance to movement, which makes you work harder than you normally would in order to execute moves like leg lifts or underwater crunches. You can even do yoga in the pool!
