Aquatic Exercise

Aquatic Exercise is any form of exercise performed in the water ranging from water walking to swimming laps.

Aquatic exercise has been known to improve cardiovascular health, coordination, flexibility and strength as well as rehabilitate chronic pain.  Anyone considering beginning an aquatic exercise regime (or any exercise regime) should consult a doctor first.  Because aquatic exercise puts less stress on joints compared to other forms of exercise, it is recommended for people who are recovering from injuries and/or surgeries.  It also is a good form of exercise for older people or people suffering from arthritis who know the benefits of maintaining an exercise program.  There are various resistance equipment that can be purchased for more challenging aquatic exercise routines or to make aquatic exercise more fun and entertaining.
