What is Aqua Fitness?
Aqua aerobics is aerobics exercises performed in our shallow water pool, using the water as resistance and for extra resistance paddles and noodles.
Aqua Aerobics helps build cardiovascular stamina, strength and flexibility. It also to helps burn body fat and increase circulation to help you rehabilitate healing muscles and joints.
Exercise in the water can be more effective than land-based exercises for people with injuries or rehabilitating muscles, by placing resistance on your muscles yet has a fraction of the stress and strain on your body.
Top 5 benefits of Aqua:
- The water helps support the body, so there’s less stress
- Working out in the water helps build strength using the resistance of the water
- The water pressure puts less stress on the heart by moving blood around the body
- The impact is less in the water, allowing a greater range of motion
