Move over, paddle-boarding! Make way for the newer, and cooler, celebrity fitness trend: Scuba!

Sure, it's a fun vacation thing — but if you use it as an actual regimen, it can do crazy things for you fitness-wise:

"Scuba diving provides a full body workout that combines cardio and strength training to burn calories, tone muscles and even improve breathing. Although your body is buoyant underwater and you feel virtually weightless while scuba diving, maneuvering through water requires constant motion by your entire body, thus toning and strengthening muscles in your thighs, shoulders and your core."

Just 30 minutes of it can burn up to 400 calories! What the what!

Plus, that shizz doesn't feel like a workout while you're exploring:

"The act of exploring the underwater world and being one amongst a sea of unique creatures and organisms is an exhilarating and life-changing experience unlike no other. Scuba diving provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, which is why so many people, celebrities included, are drawn to this activity."

Plus you don't feel it, but you're still sweating!

And don't worry — if you aren't near a tropical beach, you don't have to worry. There are dive centers all across the nation with indoor lessons and courses!

Sounds like fun!
