Aqua Aerobics
Aqua aerobics is the performance of aerobic exercise in a pool. It is a type of resistance training that is low impact and easy on the joints. The classes focus on aerobic endurance, resistance training, and creating an enjoyable atmosphere with music. The heart is working just as hard as with land aerobics and underwater exercise actually pumps more blood to the heart. Exercising in the water is not only aerobic, but also strength-training oriented due to the water resistance. Moving your body through the water creates a resistance that will activate all muscle groups. Aqua aerobics is in a group fitness class setting with a trained professional teacher.
