Most fitness activities target a specific area of the body or act upon stamina. Water Aerobics is probably the only fitness activity that works on all physical aspects, all at once! From muscle building, core strengthening, relieve joints, build stamina… every part of the body, inside and out, gets worked upon simultaneously. Water Aerobics is excellent for pregnant women and can really help soothe the physical discomforts that are a natural part of pregnancy. Even senior and elderly women can benefit from water aerobics and its low-intensity workout regime.
Each hour of water aerobics burns around 400 to 500 calories, on an average. This varies from individual to individual and as you continue regularly it becomes better! It includes a combination of fast and slow movements that work on the whole body and the changing pace helps increase the metabolism rate over time. The older we grow, our metabolism rate drops and becomes slower and slower. Water aerobics normalizes, and over time increases the metabolism rate. Being a group activity it also promises a lot of fun and entertainment.
