Looking for the Fountain of Youth? Find it in your Softub.

The explorer hacked his way through the dense jungle as his team of men followed closely behind. Pack animals laden with food, water and other supplies ambled along as the men fought to create a path in the stifling heat and humidity, the sunlight glinting off their chest plates and helmets.

The men searched for something elusive. The Fountain of Youth. That mythical source of the “water of life” that can grant eternal youthfulness and longevity.

The team pressed on, when suddenly the jungle foliage began to thin, and the temperature began to cool. The explorer knew he was close to another water source. Would this finally be what he was looking for?

They breached the final barrier and entered a clearing. In the center stood not a spring, but something … unexpected. A Softub. Was this it? Was this the secret to staying young?

Turns out, maybe so. While you probably think about your Softub mainly for relaxation, it can also be a great way to enjoy warm-water exercise. And water exercise can be a great way to stay flexible and fit as you age.

The water removes the pressure of gravity on your muscles and joints, allowing you to move with more ease and comfort – all in the privacy and convenience of your home.

Thanks to the open seating arrangement, a Softub is flexible enough to allow for different exercises so you can enjoy variety while you maintain your health and wellness. Try simple exercises like these, hot tub yoga, or even use water weights for a complete workout. Your body will benefit from both the cardiovascular and weight bearing exercises.

Another benefit – the water pressure can actually help improve your blood circulation and decrease your blood pressure. That’s something that can benefit many of us as we age. Plus, you get to enjoy the soothing warm water and powerful jets once your workout is complete.

So – is regular water exercise the mythical Fountain of Youth? Our explorers decided so. In fact, they still enjoy water exercise every day. As for you? Well, you’ll have to decide for yourself. The good news is, all you have to do is slide into your Softub and try it out!
