When on holiday in France you really do want to sample the wonderful French food and excellent French wine. So the best way to indulge in this while staying healthy is to enjoy the health benefits of swimming in a lovely French Gite with private pool in Gers, France.

Swimming is one of the best sports to maintain a healthy body. The first benefit of swimming is that it is a whole body workout. Indeed, swimming requires that you engage all of your limbs. Because of this, most muscles in your body are used during a typical swim workout, even playing around in the swimming pool and using different swimming strokes works out your muscles across a wide range of movements and also improve joint flexibility. Additionally swimming is great cardiovascular exercise and it can reduce your blood pressure, strengthen your heart and improve your aerobic capacity. Therefore nicely counteracting the effects of all that lovely French bread, cheese and local wines, meaning you don’t have to feel guilty. Swimming is also classed as a low impact exercise; the water resistance makes movement more difficult and because the water resistance increases with speed, every swimmer can easily change the work out intensity and this factor makes swimming one of the best low-impact exercises than can even be practiced after injury, during pregnancy and by elderly or disabled people, when other forms of exercise aren’t possible.
