Benefits
Exercise done in water, or aquacise, offers a multitude of benefits and options. Aquatic fitness provides buoyancy, taking away most or all impact on your bones, joints, and muscles. The water adds pressure to your body, comforting joints and internal organs and reducing stress on your heart. This allows you to work harder for longer, burning more fat than you could burn doing many land exercises.
Exercises range from basic aerobics to resistance training to kickboxing or even tai chi. Many individuals may benefit from aquacise, including beginners, pregnant women, elderly people, patients recovering from injury, and the fittest of athletes.
