Formerly seen as only for more senior participants, clients of all ages and abilities are now discovering the benefits of aqua aerobics. In addition to the standard benefits of any exercise, the use of water in water aerobics not only supports the body and reduces the risk of muscle or joint injury, but adds an increased level of resistance to strengthen the body with minimal impact. Due to the low impact nature of the workouts, aqua aerobics can also be beneficial for rehabilitation from injury, obese or overweight participants, and those with joint injuries or arthritis, who may find land, weight-bearing exercise too painful or strenuous. In water you can achieve a greater range of motion due to the mitigation of gravity. Exercise in water can also prevent overheating through continuous cooling of the body, and therefore is also extremely beneficial for pre and post natal clientele. Water aerobics incorporates both strength and conditioning, cardio and core workouts. With the use of flotation devices such as woggles/noodles and hand weights/buoys, you can work in shallow or deep water without the need for a flotation belt and with your feet off of the pool floor. Working suspended in water this way will really challenge your core muscles! As well as providing a flotation aid, aqua equipment also provides added resistance to your workout as you move through the water, giving upper and lower body conditioning. Water running, tuck jumps, jacks, spotted dogs and rocking horses, to name a few, are aqua moves that will get that heart rate pumping!! Confident Fitness runs a range of Aqua Aerobics based classes at various locations throughout Surrey. Shallow Water workouts combine core exercises, aerobics and conditioning based exercises, and can incorporate Deep Water progressions for those who are confident to work in the deeper water. Aqua Zumba combines Zumba moves that have been adapted for water workouts, so they are slower, but just as fun, choreographed to the great Zumba music you will find in land classes, to maintain that Zumba party vibe!Visit our Classes page for details of an aqua class near you, or Contact Us if you are a centre or individual who has a pool and would like us to run classes for you.
