Burn calories, save your joints and keep cool by working out in the pool

When you're preparing your swimming pool for the summer, it's easy to imagine a refreshing dip on high-90s days. This year, consider burning a few calories as well by using your backyard pool as an outdoor gym.

Don't have a backyard pool? Use the pool at your gym or any pool to which you have access.
