Water Exercise
Discover the fitness benefits of water aerobics:

• Water Aerobics classes are a great way to mix up a traditional gym workout with the wondrous benefits of water. It only takes a few sessions to see a big difference in your overall fitness.
• classes typically involve all the exercises you would expect in a ‘dry’ class. But there are added bonuses when you exercise in water. Each instructor has their own style to bring to the class.

The top benefits of water aerobics

1. Water supports the body, putting less stress on your joints and muscles
2. Working out in water helps build strength. Fighting against the push of the water activates your muscles
3. Water pressure helps put less strain on the heart by moving blood around the body
4. The impact of gravity is less in the water, allowing a greater range of motion
5. Working out in water helps prevent overheating, helping you exercise for longer
6. And… It’s fun! It is not often you can say that about a workout.

What to expect in a water aerobics class
The first thing you’ll get is a great all-over workout. You’ll also use new equipment like aqua dumbbells, kickboards, and pool noodles. You don’t need to buy equipment if you don’t want to. Everything you need will be provided by your pool for use in the lesson.
