Benefits of Water Fitness Classes
Do you know all of the benefits of exercising in water? Here are a few for you to think about:
- LOW IMPACT – The upward force of “buoyancy” helps take pressure off of your joints.
- WHOLE BODY CONDITIONING – Water provides built in resistance, allowing for more intense workouts.
- LESS INJURY CONCERN – Working out in water is known for its rehabilitation properties. Water exercise can speed up recovery, is nearly pain-free, and helps injured people move easier.
- GOOD FOR CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH – Just being in the water is known to reduce high blood pressure. It relaxes the blood vessels so that they can carry more blood while presenting less resistance to the heart.
