Chandigarh, June 5, 2018: In a bid to inspire people to swim for fitness, Speedo, the world's leading swimwear brand celebrated Global Wellness Day with renowned Indian professional hockey player Harjeet Singh. The brand has been working towards reinforcing how water workouts are the next big trend to get fit and to achieve a total body workout.
20 year old, Hockey superstar Harjeet Singh also believes in supporting the movement. He was seen visiting the Speedo exclusive store in Chandigarh at SCO-11, Sector-17-E, where he picked his favourite swimming gear from the brand’s Speedo Fit collection. Harjeet later engaged in a fun AquaFit session with Speedo master coach and fitness instructor, Pooja Arora. The program aims to reinforce the commitment to fitness by encouraging consumers to change their fitness routine and make the pool their new gym.
Harjeet who hails from Punjab started swimming at a very early age and enjoys being in the pool. A quick thinker with a vision, Harjeet Singh has the ability to help the team control the game. Other than using his experience with seniors to help the junior team prepare for big matches, Harjeet also helps the team prepare models for everything – from diet to fitness to field tactics.
Talking about his new fitness mantra, Harjeet said, “It’s so important to switch up your fitness regime from time to time. So when Speedo came to me and introduced me to their new Speedo AquaFit program I was excited to give it a try. Comprising of high intensity dumbbell movements such as tricep dips with forward kicks and power paddle movements such as chest presses and bicep curls, this workout will help me train harder without worrying of muscle soreness and injuries.”
Pooja Arora explains more on the benefits of a water workout and how it benefits athletes in other sports, “Swimming training is an effective way for land-based athletes to incorporate workouts that are gentle on joints and tough on the cardiovascular system. Swimming also works an athlete's entire body, exposes their strength to bodyweight ratio, and increases their range of motion. Water workouts can encompass all of the components of fitness: cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility. And, when done regularly, these exercises can help reduce body fat. No matter what your age or fitness levels, you can get a good challenging workout in the pool. It’s time to encourage more and more people to take the plunge into the pool – it’s great fun and can be a great all body workout too!”
