Water Aerobics
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 over-weight or
who have not exercised for a while, this is an easy way to get back and
stay in an exercise program.
