How to Use a Bullfrog Spa
Ok, so you have found the perfect Bullfrog Spa and are ready to relax. Now what? If you’re wondering how to use a hot tub to get the most enjoyment out of your investment, you’re in the right place.
A new hot tub offers several ways to improve the quality of your life, bringing a bit of luxury and an inviting escape to your own backyard. You’ll love the improvements in your health and wellness, social and romantic relationships, and the relaxation that your spa provides.
Of course, it’s not that challenging to jump in and enjoy. However, there are a few things to consider that will help you get the best use out of your hot tub. Years of happy spa ownership start by focusing on the benefits your spa provides and making this a part of your everyday.
Using a hot tub for therapy
Did you know that there are many significant health benefits to owning and using your spa?
If you actively participate in vigorous exercise or sports, you may find that your hot tub can help you improve performance, recover faster, and reach your healthy fitness goals.
Soaking in warm water, especially after a hard workout, is shown to reduce muscle soreness and speed up your recovery. The therapy features of your spa, like specifically targeted jets, can give you the appropriate massage to loosen stiff muscles and reduce long term swelling. Bullfrog Spas even features 17 interchangeable JetPak massages so you can choose the jets that target your specific aches and pains.
John B., a hot tub user, said, “Absolutely nothing relieves my soreness like 10 minutes in the jets. I’m so glad I bought it.”
If you’re not able to do high-intensity exercises like jogging, weight lifting, or cross training but you’re still looking to transition into a healthier lifestyle, your hot tub can still help you reach your fitness goals.
There are many things to do in a hot tub, such as low-impact exercises or stretches, to keep your body healthy and pain-free. Many spa owners practice hot tub yoga, moderate calisthenics, water aerobics, and even Pilates right in the spa.
These exercises are a great way to increase your flexibility and range of motion, all while enjoying the relaxation of the warm water. If you suffer from arthritis, muscle and joint pain, back pain, or just general aches and pains, these exercises can support your treatment goals while providing all-natural pain relief.
Using a hot tub for relaxation
Owning your own spa is one of the easiest ways to create your own personal oasis for escape and relaxation. A little escape and alone time now and then not only improves your health and relationships, but it can also help you reconnect with yourself and your priorities. Making time for yourself through a regular soak in the hot tub can help you clear your mind and renew your energy.
Using your hot tub also provides several passive benefits for your health and wellness. Studies show that regular hot water therapy can be a great way to reduce insomnia, stress, and anxiety. Soaking in warm water before bed is a great way to relieve stress, improve your mood, and regulate your autonomic nervous system helping you to feel better and fall asleep more easily.
Ross B. said, “[My hot tub] de-stresses me, helps me sleep better, and I like sitting in it with just the circulation pump running…very relaxing!”
To truly make your hot tub a backyard retreat, focus on creating a relaxing mood and atmosphere. Adding privacy screens or shrubbery, mood lighting, relaxing music, and beautiful landscaping can truly transform your spa into an oasis. Aromatherapy and meditation can also help you achieve the rejuvenation and relaxation you’re looking for.
Using a hot tub to strengthen your family
Hot tubs offer a great way to build your relationship with your spouse, children, and other family members.
The shared experience of relaxing in warm water is perfect for getting you and your significant other on the same page. The quiet time and ease of conversation are just what many couples need.
Kevin O., who uses his spa regularly with his wife, said, “We allow no electronics in the tub and it gives us a great chance to reconnect and just enjoy each other’s company with no outside distractions.”
If you’re a parent, you will love using your spa to spend quality time together as a family. The relaxing atmosphere of a hot tub is perfect for conversations and catching up after a busy day at work, school and extracurricular activities. Everyone from children to grandparents can enjoy the benefits of a hot tub.
Using a hot tub for fun
Not only can hot tubs provide health benefits, but they can be a great form of entertainment and fun. There are a lot of things to do in your hot tub such as throw backyard parties, play water games, and enjoy fun hot tub accessories.
Hot tub parties
Having a hot tub in your own backyard is a great way to become the most popular person in your neighborhood. If you enjoy being the life of the party, you’ll love being the go-to host for summer BBQs, get-togethers, and hot tub parties.
Make your hot tub event even more enjoyable by playing hot tub games and adding the fun hot tub accessories listed below.
Hot tub games
Hot tubs provide the perfect setting to play games. Large hot tubs can fit 8 friends or more and encourage people to put their technology away and connect with each other.
Play fun games like 20 Questions or Would You Rather, or grab a deck of waterproof playing cards and play your favorite card games together.
There are even lots of fun games invented specifically for hot tubs and pools. Try a game of floating basketball or ping pong, and see if you can beat your friends.
