Hot Tubs for Fitness as Well as Relaxation
The idea of working out in your hot tub (when you’re not relaxing in it) isn’t a new concept. You may have heard of or seen swim spas, which are sort of like treadmills for swimmers and have been around for a few years. D1′s “Aquatic Fitness Systems” go even further, offering a lot of variety to what kind of workout you can do in your spa. As many doctors will tell you, exercising in the water is great for you because, unlike most types of land exercises, it’s a type of no-impact training that goes easy on the joints. That’s why it’s particularly nice for older folks or people recovering from injuries. D1 offers three different systems in varying sizes (most of these fitness-oriented hot tubs are larger than your typical backyard spa, so you’ll need a roomy place to install one), so you can get what suits your needs. Don’t expect to get this kind of exercise convenience cheaply though. The Aquatic Fitness tubs range from $25,000 to $35,000.
