Aqua Aerocics
Aqua aerobics is fundamentally aerobic exercise in water. It takes place in a swimming pool and is part of an organised group session that lasts 45 minutes to an hour. Workouts generally comprise of routines familiar to those who have experienced aerobics and include walking and running backwards and forwards. Workouts also commonly feature special water devices which are used to aid floatation and resistance.
The support the water provides for the body significantly reduces the risk of bone, muscle and joint injury, its density meaning that 90 percent of a body’s weight is supported. For example a body weighing 140 pounds will only, in theory, weigh around 14 pounds in the water. The stress that gravity puts on the body joints is therefore to a great extent relieved enabling freer and safer movement. This water support also means that those with back or knee problems can take part in aqua aerobics without fear of pain or further injury.
There are safe exercising and numerous health benefits to performing aerobic exercise in the water. It considerably increases cardiovascular fitness, promoting the service the heart provides in pumping blood around the body, and improving aerobic endurance. It also strengthens and tones the body and improves flexibility.
Exercising in the water is also a great way to relieve stress, as the water massages and cools the body, relaxing the participant as they exercise.
Aqua aerobics is an ideal activity for those wanting to improve the health of their heart and lungs and burn off some calories but without suffering any wear and tear on their bodies.
