Bali Snorkeling Health Benefits

Improve Your Health with Snorkeling in Bali

Snorkeling is one of the most fun ways to see the beauty of Bali dive sites without having to leave the surface of the water. Snorkeling is a great fun and interesting form of cardiovascular exercise and muscle strengthening. Snorkeling, with or without fins, is a full body workout. Every movement you make, whether with your arms, legs or back, forces your muscles to push against the natural resistance of the water. So when you plan your vacation in Bali, snorkeling is one of the activities you should include in.

Health Benefits of Snorkeling

Here is a list of snorkeling benefits we think you should know about.

Improves Breathing

Breathing through a snorkel or tube involves bigger resistance and requires greater exertion than normal breathing therefore it increases your maximal oxygen uptake which is great indicator of your aerobic fitness. Breathing from a tube allows for your breathing to become maximised and is a very good technique to improve breathing and lung performance in general.

Cardiovascular Health

Snorkeling increases your heart rate, while strengthening the muscle at the same time. Improved cardiovascular fitness helps decrease the risk of certain health problems, such as coronary heart disease, heart failure, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Joint mobility

Exercising in the water reduces the impact forces of the exercise on joints. If you have trouble exercising because of movement restrictions, consider snorkeling in Bali because in the water, your buoyancy prevents the pressure of your weight on your joints. It will be easier for you to experience intense training and exercise for your joints when you do it on your snorkeling trip in Bali.
