Top 5 Miracles of WATER

Tone muscles: Water is about 12 times more resistant than air, so it takes more effort to move while submerged, according to Terry-Ann Gibson, PhD, associate professor of kinesiology at Boise State University. That means exercises you do in a pool are extra-effective muscle sculptors. An easy one to try: Stand in water up to your neck, then move your arms and legs as if you're cross-country skiing for 1 minute.
