Benefits of Water Aerobics

Water Aerobics offers many benefits for all fitness levels. Whether your goal is to gain strength, improve your cardiovascular health or to sustain flexibility and mobility, Water Aerobics is a great workout to consider.

Water Aerobics is a great Low Impact workout:

According to reports from the American Council on Exercise, exercising in water makes you feel about 90% lighter. If you jump or run in the water your body will not experience the same impact as it would if you were on land. This makes water aerobics ideal for those with arthritis, back problems, foot or leg injuries, knee conditions and for pregnant or obese individuals.

Water Aerobics is a great way to Burn Calories:

When participation in a Water Aerobics class it is possible to burn between 400 and 500 calories per hour according to the Aquatic Exercise Association. The actual amount of calories you burn depends on your intensity during the workout, your size as well as the water’s temperature and depth. Faster movement while incorporating both upper and lower body in deep water will lead to a greater calorie burn.

Water Aerobics is a great way to Strengthen the body:

When exercising in water you work against 12 times the resistance of air, according to an article published in American Fitness. Simple kicking and upper body movements in the water helps contribute to muscle development and a faster metabolism which leads to both a stronger and healthier body.
