We all know that. There comes a moment when we feel a change must be made. Lose weight, start exercising and adopt a healthier lifestyle. It can come in a round birthday at the age of 30, 40 or 50, following an unpleasant mishap with a mirror on the wall, or after a meeting with our family doctor, who with a worried look in his eyes explains to us that we must start behaving more nicely to our body.

Most people come to this moment after years of not exercising, and the enthusiasm of the beginning, if not done right, can in many cases end in injuries that will prevent us from continuing to reach the goal.

This is where swimming comes into play, or to be more precise, rowing-style swimming. Among the various swimming styles, there is no doubt about the tremendous benefits of rowing, making it the best and safest sports activity for those who want to make a change and start adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Rowing swimming is the perfect solution to move from a state of armchair sweet potato to a change and adoption of a healthy lifestyle. Why?

• In rowing swimming there is no load on the joints. Unlike wheelbarrows or walking, where there is a very high load on the joints, the body weight in water is about 10% of its weight on land so there is no load on the joints at all. Therefore the number of swimming injuries is significantly lower compared to any other sport. People who have not exercised for a long time and start running are at high risk of injury because the body is not used to the load on the joints and muscles, a load that does not exist in the pool. In addition, the water supports the whole body weight and therefore there is also no danger of shocks that will affect the muscles or bones like running or walking.

• Excess weight does not matter in the water - the desire to get rid of extra pounds is a major reason why people want to make a change and start exercising.

The problem is that the extra pounds require more effort and create more strain on the joints of the body when we are walking or running, which can lead to injuries or the feeling that the effort is too great, hence the short way to lifting hands.

Rowing swimming is the only activity in which body weight does not affect the level of exertion while swimming (as mentioned, body weight in water is only 10% of its weight on land) and therefore overweight people manage to persevere in swimming better than any other activity outside the water.

• In rowing only almost all the muscles of the body are exercised at the same time - unlike wheelbarrowing or cycling, in which we exercise almost exclusively the lower body, in rowing almost all the muscles of the body operate simultaneously and as a result burn a particularly high amount of fat and calories (400 Calories in half an hour!), Sculpt the body symmetrically and strengthen the core and back muscles which most of us neglect on a daily basis.

• In the Israeli summer (which generally lasts from April to October ...), it is much more pleasant to be in the water ... in order to persevere in sports, you have to enjoy it.

If we force ourselves to do something we do not like - pretty soon we will give up and stop.

Israel is a hot and humid country almost all year round.

Running, walking or cycling in the Israeli summer can be quite a nightmare ... Swimming, on the other hand, does not sweat or feel the heat and humidity which gives it another significant advantage over other activities - it is simply more fun (even in winter - the pools are covered and heated Pleasant all year round).

Learn to swim rowing easily and effortlessly and then swimming becomes a great pleasure

"Rowing is a unique sport that is especially suitable for those who want to get up from the armchair and start adopting a healthy lifestyle after not playing sports for a long time. It is suitable for all ages Katz, the founder of TI in Israel.

"The problem is that most people are unable to swim more than a pool or two of rowing without running out of air. Because we have all learned to swim rowing in a method that is not suitable for long-distance swimming, swimming becomes a difficult and tiring struggle," Katz explains. Who brought TI to Israel 13 years ago from America after learning it from the method's developer, Olympic swimming coach Terry Lochlin. Katz currently runs the largest swimming school in Israel, which includes 60 swimming pools throughout the country (all indoor and heated in winter), 70 instructors and more than 10,000 students a year who discover the TI secret to long-distance swimming, easily and effortlessly.

Swimming is a sport of technique.

If you learn the technique, swimming becomes a pleasure.

The feeling of water on the body while swimming is like that of a relaxing massage.

When you implement the right technique, you can control the intensity of the effort.

When you understand the sport of swimming, you discover a whole world.

Waiting for the moment to enter the water and do not want to leave.

The results come quickly - get rid of extra pounds, look better and feel full of energy - and it becomes a habit of years.

It produces a change in lifestyle.

Pleasure is guaranteed and pleasure is the key to perseverance. "

Invest 10 hours in yourself and you will receive a gift for life

"TI is suitable for everyone, no matter what your age or fitness level. 70 percent of our students did not know how to swim rowing before the course. In just 10 lessons they feel born into the water," says Katz, saying: "It changes lives. That allow you to persevere and enjoy every pool. But it's more than that. It's a tool for life change. What happens to people after that is nothing short of a revolution. A dramatic lifestyle change that comes from within and therefore also succeeds. I define it as a killer lifestyle change app - Must try. "
