Summer time means pool time. For a cool workout I suggest swimming! Try this workout and see if you like it. Just print this out, get it wet and stick it to the side of the pool.
Warm up:
100 yrds Freestyle - easy
50 yrds pull Freestyle
25 yrds kick Backstroke
25 yrds kick Freestyle
TOTAL = 200 yards
The Main Event:
200 yrds Freestyle
3 x 100 yrds Favorite Stroke
100 yrds kick Free Style
2 x 100 yrds 2nd Favorite Stroke
50 yrds pull Freestyle
100 yrds 3rd Favorite Stroke
100 yrds Freestyle
Total = 1050 yards
Cool Down:
50 kick Freestyle
50 kick Breast stroke
100 Freestyle - easy
Total = 200 yards
TOTAL WORK 1450 yrds
Distance = .88 miles ( a swim mile is 1650 yrds not 1750, so add 200 yards and you are swimming a mile!)

I need to try this.
Swimming kind of freaks me out a bit because of how you get short of breath exerting yourself, plus you're surrounded by water... a bit intimidating.
1yaay i love swimming!! in fact i like it way better than just working out on a mat or by machines. being in a pool makes it so much more fun, i think. so thanks for posting this!!
2Arg. Swimming = Bathing suits. No thanks.
3I am SO happy that you posted this workout! I was on the swim team for 6 years when I was younger and I have missed it! The gym that I just recently joined has an indoor Olympic size pool and I have been wanting to use it and this will give me direction when I do. YAY!
4I wish I had a pool!
5swimming: the workout that makes you feel like you havent worked out much... I LOVE IT. it's totally humbling to hop in the pool and remember that you may run marathons but that doesn't mean you're totally fit (in all ways!)
LOVE IT! you should post more workout routines,
fit!
