Water Exercise

We use hand weight and resistance noodles for toning.  We also do lite cardio as well.

Water exercise facts:

• Your body is supported-making exercises easier and less painful while you’re performing movements.
• The buoyancy provided by the water helps to protect your joints from the shocking impact usually associated with exercising on land.
• Resistance of the water against all your motions resulting in high workout intensities as compared to land exercises.
• A massaging effect is created when your muscles are surrounded by water.
• Water provides 12 percent more resistance than movements on land-without the gravitational stress and pain. Water exercise is adaptable to everyone’s desires, needs and abilities.
• Non-swimmers can safely participate.
• Water visually shields your body-for those participants feeling uncomfortable or awkward in normal exercise environments.
• High calorie burning during and after a workout.
• Your heart rate is slower making water exercise beneficial for pregnancy, obese and heart disease participants.
• Renews your energy level as it releases your stress and tension
• Water exercise is wonderful for participants with arthritis, back or other joint problems
