Water Aerobics,
also knows as aqua aerobics is a safe and effective way to stay in
shape. This form of fitness training is great for nearly everyone.
Water Aerobics appeals to a wide range of people and regardless of your fitness there is a water exercise class or routine that fits your needs. It
is recommended to do water aerobics for many reasons. Water exercises
can help you to lose weight, prevent weight gain, build lean muscle,
lower blood sugar levels, and lower blood pressure and reduce stress.
The typical water aerobics
class runs from 45 minutes to an hour in chest deep water. In each
class, there is a warm up period where you stretch and loosen up your
muscles. The bulk of the class is spent on performing various movements
or dances that work the arms, legs and core. The class ends with a cool
down period. In this time, you can really burn some calories. It is
estimated that the typical session burns between 450-700 calories.
For
those that are just starting an exercise program, water aerobics are a
perfect start.
Doing the exercises in the water strengthens every major
muscle group as well as improving your cardiovascular health.
Even the athlete benefits from water exercises. In the water, your
lungs and heart work harder then they do standing on the ground. The
resistance of the water also complements the other training that a top
athlete performs.
Aqua aerobics is great for those who are overweight.
Exercises in the water are easier on the joints as the body is more
buoyant. This puts less stress on the joints and greatly reduces the
chance of injury. For the overweight person trying to get into shape,
the cardiovascular aerobic activity is both great for burning fat, but
also for strengthening the lungs and heart. The resistance of the water
is effective for gaining lean muscle and burning fat too.
Water aerobics are also very popular for those who are rehabbing from
surgery or an injury. In fact, many top athletes rehab in the water
doing water jogging which gets the muscles in shape with out the stress
of heavy contact on the ground. In the water, you can safely get the
whole body in shape and also concentrate exercises on the injured part
of the body to help speed up recovery.

exercises in the water greatly reduce the likelihood of injury and also
effective at reducing the damages of osteoporosis. Seniors also love
that aqua aerobics classes are a group activity and this is a great way
