My son and I had the opportunity to enjoy our first swim of the year at Lake Biwa.
It’s always refreshing to incorporate lake swimming into my workout routine during the summer, adding variety to my exercises. From Nordic walking to jogging, jog-walk intervals, bodyweight strength HIIT, sprinting, soccer, cycling, and now swimming, I truly believe in the benefits of diverse physical activities for both the body and mind.
Engaging in different exercises helps develop various muscle groups while introducing a welcomed change in the routine. It brings about a sense of freshness and rejuvenation, reminiscent of our active youth.
