6 Reasons why you should try Aqua Aerobics

1.Water provides 12 times more resistance than the air

Greater resistance results in higher workout intensities compared to land exercises without the gravitational stress and pain

2.Receive a free massage while working out

A massaging effect is created when your muscles are in motion surrounded by water

3.Cross-training for land based athletes

Increased resistance on your muscles improves arm and leg strength and speed (golf, baseball, basketball, biking, hockey)

  

4.You don’t have to know how to swim

Pool depth is 3 to 4 feet and you don’t have to get your head wet

5.Post-rehab training after a stroke, replacement knee, replacement hip or other injury

Heart rates in the water are generally 12 to 15 beats per minute lower than on land. Researchers say that this is because the water temperature is lower than the body temperature and water pressure on the body helps circulate your blood requiring less work by your heart.

6.Improves balance

Natural water properties creates a fall prevention exercise

We have Aqua Aerobics classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9.30 am -10.30 am, Monday and Wednesday 6 pm-7 pm and Saturday 11 am to 12 pm. Diane Kapusta also does personal training in the pool.

Tanning

Tanning beds use UV light to tan people. It's the same process as tanning outdoors in the sun. There are always risks with tanning, whether it's indoors or outdoors, but there are many things you can do to tan safely. Here are some tips but just remember when you use our tanning bed you are doing so at your own risk.

Develop a base tan

Start with just a few minutes to see how your skin reacts. 

Gradually increase the time as your skin gets more tan. 

Keep your skin hydrated

Moist skin tans better than dry skin. Make sure you drink enough water and use enough 

moisturizer. Also use tanning lotion that is meant for indoor tanning beds. 

Don't tan every day

 You should wait 48 hours between tanning sessions. That gives your skin enough 

time to recover from UV exposure and  create new melanin 

which is what gives you your color.

Eye protection

This is very important! Your eyelids only block 25 % of UV rays. We do provide eye protection 

so if you don't have your own make sure you ask the front desk to give you a pair.

Lips, Tattoos and Acrylic Nails

Remember to use lip balm with SPF. UV light may cause tattoos colors to fade. 

Acrylic nails may yellow in UV light.

Medication

Some medication may cause photosensitivity (sun-allergy) so check with your doctor.

we also have a partial list on the wall next to the tanning bed.

Keep in mind that everyone tans differently, Don't rush it and make sure you never burn. Info on tanning prices and how to add it onto your membership you can check the front desk or the sales office.
