F
FITNESS
through a variety of programming
options. Water fitness is the perfect
way to condition the body. It not
only stimulates the mind, but washes
away stress and rejuvenates the spirit.
While aqua aerobics takes care of
your cardiovascular fitness as well
as strength and flexibility, you can
combine it with other forms of exercise
for better results. Any workout that
you do in a fitness centre can be done
inside the pool as well – whether it’s
yoga, Pilates, kickboxing, zumba, step,
cardio, or sculpting and stretching.
Aqua aerobics can also help
improve the physical and mental health
of an individual. The environment
can help you relieve stress and tensionas your muscles get loosened up once
you let your body submerge in water.
Unlike swimming, vertical exercise
seeks to maximise resistance, which
results in a core challenge.
So don’t let summer ruin your
workout plans. Take a dip in water
and work out submerged for a more
toned and healthier you.GETTYIMAGES
