Description of exercise Breaststroke is a popular swimming exercise that involves a frog-like kicking motion and a simultaneous arm movement. It is often considered the most graceful and relaxing stroke, making it a favorite among beginners and recreational swimmers. To perform the breaststroke, the swimmer starts in a prone position with arms extended forward and legs extended back. The arms then sweep out to the sides while the legs bend at the knees and bring the feet towards the buttocks. The arms then come back together in front of the body while the legs kick out and straighten. This continuous motion propels the swimmer through the water. Breaststroke is a great full-body workout that improves cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, and flexibility.

It is important to consult with a doctor or trainer before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you have preexisting medical conditions.Breaststroke exercise should be avoided if you have a shoulder injury, as the repetitive arm movements can aggravate the injury and hinder the healing process. It should also be avoided if you have any back or neck problems, as the constant bending and arching of the spine can put strain on these areas.Pregnant women should also avoid breaststroke exercise, as the pressure on the abdomen and changes in balance can be uncomfortable and potentially harmful to the baby.Lastly, if you are feeling ill or experiencing any chest pain, it is best to avoid breaststroke exercise until you are feeling better and have consulted with a medical professional.
