\"Workout-routine\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Strengthen Your Body<\/strong>
\nThe Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend individuals do some form of strength training a minimum of twice a week. Many of us are not meeting this very important recommendation. Did you know that when exercising in water you work against 12 times the resistance of air? 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.<\/p>\n

Low Impact workout<\/strong>
\nAccording 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 and knee conditions. Individuals without limitations also benefit greatly from Water Aerobics.<\/p>\n

Burn Calories<\/strong>
\nWhat kind of caloric burn can you expect when participating in a Water Aerobics class? According to the Aquatic Exercise Association it\u2019s possible to burn between 400 and 500 calories per hour. The actual amount of calories you burn depends on your intensity during the workout, your size as well as the water\u2019s temperature and depth. Faster movement while incorporating both upper and lower body in deep water will lead to a greater calorie burn.<\/p>\n
