Only show me:
Swimming is an excellent exercise that engages multiple muscle groups and boosts cardiovascular health. The water's buoyancy minimises joint impact, making it suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Its rhythmic nature also provides meditative benefits, reducing stress and anxiety. Consider swimming for a fun and effective workout!
