Aqua fitness, often called AquaFit or water aerobics, is a form of resistance training that uses the motions of many common aerobic exercises but adds the resistance of water weight by performing the actions in a pool. Exercising in a pool lowers the impact of the workout on your joints and helps build strength by increasing the resistance of movement. Aqua fitness is popular with the elderly, and classes are becoming widespread in recreation centers across the nation. However, professional and collegiate sports teams use pool workouts and water aerobics for recovering athletes and endurance training.
In this free video series, expert Jamie Smithers shows you the basics of aqua fitness. You learn the benefits of each exercise and get to see just how they are done!
