Want to lose weight without breaking a sweat? Hop in the pool! This fun water workout burns mega calories and tones every trouble spot.
Water aerobics or Aqua aerobics enables you to perform movements and routines similar to those in a traditional aerobics class while keeping your body supported and cushioned from the jarring impact of standard on ground aerobics moves. You can perform water aerobics in the privacy of your own home in either an above ground or in ground pool, as long as the water is at least waist deep.
If you have never taken a water aerobics class, we highly encourage you to do so. Not only will you receive a great cardio workout, but you might be surprised by the strength training benefits you can gain from using the water as resistance. Because of the buoyancy of the water, working out in the pool provides a perfect medium for those who must avoid high impact exercise. Water exercises make it easier for those who suffer from arthritis or for those who find land based exercises to be too high impact for their joints.
Exercising, in or out of the water, is about getting and staying fit. Aqua aerobics or water aerobics, one of the most rapidly growing trends in exercise today, is practiced by people of all ages, including children and the elderly, both in backyard as well as community center pools.
This no to low impact, yet high-results form of exercise is ideal for weight loss, athletic training, pregnant women, rehabilitation, and stroke victims, to name a few. It is also highly effective for those suffering from chronic diseases or conditions that are exacerbated by impact or involve total body pain, such as arthritis, partial paralysis or fibromyalgia.
