hot tub in winter snow

The thought of a hot tub is probably reminiscent of a stay at your favorite hotel or a day at the pool with your family. Well, what if it reminded you of winter? That’s right, using a hot tub in winter can provide more benefits than one. Take a look at these benefits below.

1. Enjoy Winter While Staying Warm

The snow, freezing temperatures — it calls for a day inside, right? Well, no more. A hot tub in winter means you can enjoy the snow and stay warm, right from the comfort of a heated, jetted pool.

2. Immunity Boost

A good soak in the hot tub can do wonders for your health, especially your immune system. You can potentially prevent colds after a trip to the hot tub during those icy, cold days of winter.

3. Stress-Relief for Days

Staying in a hot tub for a decent amount of time can do wonders for the mind, allowing you to relax. Did you know that your blood pressure is likely to lower after getting in a hot tub?

4. Exercise Is Possible

When you think of working out during the winter, a hot tub is more than likely far from your mind. However, a water-based workout is possible from a hot tub. Some light workout exercises include:

  • Abdominal hold
  • Bicycle kicks
  • Walking in place
  • Resistance training

Before starting an exercise program, it’s best to speak with your doctor first.

5. Staying Social with Family and Friends

The best part about having a hot tub in winter? Everyone is going to want to come over to your place for a late night dip. Spend a weekend inviting your family or friends over for a good time in the hot tub.

6. Say Goodbye to Sore Muscles

Winter can cause a variety of aches and pains. From shoveling snow off the driveway to carrying holiday gifts, the pain is real. Taking time to step away from the to-do list and into the hot tub can relieve aching muscles that have been building up. Increased circulation from the hot water allows the blood to deliver the nutrients your muscles need to recover faster.
