Exercise Swimming Programs

By Anne Clarke

The focus of many different kinds of exercises is to maintain physical as well as mental health and stability. Especially in cases of people with disabilities, many of the swimming exercise programs for the disabled focus not only on the body, but the mind and spirit as well. Now, the unification of “body, mind, and spirit” is quite a clichéd concept, but it works. I suppose my argument is that, in some way or another, when the three are out of balance any person is relatively disabled anyway.

A perfect balance of the body, of mind and (if you will) of the spirit is the very best way to live. Homeopathic, other alternative medical professionals – and even strictly scientific medical professionals agree that the better someone is feeling the better his or her chances of healing are. This includes the maintenance of an individual’s overall health, and of course, exercise is a very important part of that.

If you want to enhance your overall quality of life you do not have to have an illness or physically disabling disease or injury to do so. Of course, medically, an illness can be successfully treated through exercise and meditation. Movement, activity, freedom and overall quality of life will improve, but also, healthy people will benefit as well as help prevent potential health problems in the future. I believe that everyone should consider their future and their own happiness. And this is why an exercise program, such as one of the swimming classes I mentioned, is so great.

These swimming programs target the relaxation of the body, increase the issues of mobility and physical function, as well as provide a soothing sense of mind that will last much longer than the class itself. Therefore, these special swimming programs are important, because they combat the issues which virtually any people with different kinds of disabilities have to face. Swimming programs are wonderful – but as far as exercise is concerned, swimming also works every muscle group.

The main point is that your workout time (disabled or not) should not be a chore – but a sanctuary. A time where you can relax and enjoy the health you are bringing to your body – something that you want and need as part of your daily routine, that is what your workout should be. No matter what kind of exercise you do, the notion of breathing, enjoying your workout program, and even meditating on the unification of mind, body and spirit is going to prove healthy for you in the long run.
