WATER AEROBICS BENEFITS  2

Water aerobics allows a person to get the same benefits as regular aerobic workouts, but it has many advantages.

While no single exercise is perfect for everyone, water aerobics comes close by conforming to individual needs, restrictions, and abilities.

By adjusting the size and speed of your movements, you can change the level of exertion to suit your needs.

It allows a person to exercise every muscle and every joint in the body all at the same time.

Because it is done in water, you may perspire, but you will remain cooler because the water cools you off as you exert. This is one reason that water aerobics is popular in climates where the weather is quite warm.

Another benefit of water aerobics is that you can do it, no matter your age. The reason for this is because the water causes your body to be buoyant, thus causing less stress on your joints and muscles. Water aerobics is a non-weight bearing exercise where water, instead of your lower extremities, supports your weight.

It provides a great deal of resistance in all directions for your muscles to work against. This multi-directional resistance provides an excellent environment for rehabilitation of injured athletes and orthopedic patients.

But, more important for those of you who are overweight or who have not exercised for a while, this is an easy way to get back and stay in an exercise program. You'll find kindred spirits in any level class from beginner to supercharged aerobic wonders.
