Aqua Fitness
Innate characteristics of the water – buoyance, resistance, turbulence, hydrostatic pressure makes the water a unique environment for exercise. Aquatic Exercise can be performed in shallow (more common) or deep water in a vertical position.
Aquatic Fitness is an alternative to land-based programs for individuals of all ages and body types– athletes, health and fitness conscious people, rehabilitation patients or athletes, pre and post-natal, people looking for different types of activities, people unable to exercise with land-based activities, due to injuries or health condition (arthritis, stenosis, etc.)
Water is 800 times denser than air so it is an optimal environment to provide full body resistance and high levels of energy expenditure with little strain on joints, bones and muscles in the body.
