(HealthDay News) -- Exercise should be part of everyone's healthy lifestyle, but some people may have difficulty with high-impact exercise like running.

Swimming is a low-impact activity that offers a great workout for all muscles of the body.

According to Epigee Women's Health, swimming may be a good option for people who need to be extra careful during exercise, including those who are:

  • Pregnant.
  • Extremely overweight.
  • Elderly.
  • Disabled.
  • Recovering from an injury.
