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.
