Cardio Exercises

Cardio exercises are effective in improving your heart function and also in weight loss. They help circulate oxygen in the blood and strengthen the muscles too. Make the cardio exercises, a life routine. You can practice with gadgets and machines, or outdoors by doing brisk walking, running, jogging, cycling and swimming.  All personal trainers, athletes and doctors agree on the positives of these simple exercises. While in a gym, you can train yourself through a lot of machines for cardiac exercises.

Yoga and meditation

Yoga and meditation is the best way to learn how to control your breath. It helps greatly, as scuba diving requires very slow breathing. It does not need a lot of knowledge to succeed in yoga or meditation, but surely the supervision of an instructor or a trainer would help. All you have to do is relax and concentrate on your breathing in slow and regular tempo. Examine your power and the air that fills your lungs.

Crossfit & Stretching

Apart from cardiac exercises and yoga/meditation, you could also try CrossFit. CrossFit is a strength training method and the most effective way to get fit. It combines gymnastics with weightlifting and rowing.  CrossFit will also benefit your body. All you need is a gym and a coach. Just be careful cause being too muscular it’s not too good for Scuba Diving.

Make daily stretching at home. Even when you work you can have great advantages. Work with your hands, shoulders, legs and torso. This will give you greater flexibility in your body and you will be ready to swim in the seabed safely.
