If you’re ready to refresh your fitness routine, it may be time to venture beyond the gym and make a splash with aqua aerobics. These low-impact classes are a great way to build strength and fitness, make new connections in and out of the pool, and breathe new life into your workouts.
Make a splash with aqua fitness
What is Aqua fitness?
Aqua fitness takes dynamic aerobic movements to the pool. Led by a trained instructor, you can expect a full-body workout that combines cardio and strength-training exercises. And you don’t need to be a strong swimmer: you’ll always be able to reach the pool floor as you jump, kick, and lunge your way through a class.
Your workout will also be enhanced by using a range of specialised aquatic workout equipment. This may include water weights and dumbbells for lifts and extensions to improve arm and leg strength, or kickboards and swim bars for improving coordination and flexibility as you move against the water. And remember, there’s no “first place” in aqua aerobics — all you have to do is enjoy yourself as you move at your own pace.
Benefits of aqua aerobics
Regardless of your age or fitness level, aqua aerobics is an easy way to boost your cardio routine. Here are some of the benefits you can expect to enjoy from regularly taking part in water aerobics classes:
- Low impact on the body: Your natural buoyancy in the water gives your body more support than land-based workouts. That’s why aqua aerobics is a great exercise for people with arthritis or other mobility issues looking to avoid aggravating joint pain or stiffness.
- Cool conditions: Pool workouts keep your body temperature regulated so you can stay engaged longer than with other cardio activities like walking or running.
- Good weight-loss activity: The natural resistance created by the water gives you a full body workout that improves strength and stamina while toning muscles and burning calories.
- Helps you return to exercise: If you’re coming back to exercise after a break, aqua is the perfect class to kickstart a new fitness routine.
- Heart and high-blood pressure-friendly: Taking regular aqua aerobics classes can have a positive impact on your overall wellness, including reducing blood pressure and improving overall heart health.
