If you are over forty and have health issues, always check with your doctor before starting any exercise program. The problem with many is sticking to the exercise program. For years I tried starting an exercise program for myself, they all only lasted about two weeks. I lost interest even though I knew exercise was good for me.
Then I tried again and found something I really enjoyed. It is water aerobics! I tried several water Aerobic classes with different instructors and I found the one who offers what I needed and enjoy.
What are the benefits of water aerobic/exercise The buoyancy provided by water helps protect your joints from shock and impact which are usually associate with land exercise on land. It is excellent for physical therapy and fitness. It is ideal environment for relieving arthritis pain and stiffness.
You get greater resistance than land exercise thereby help build strength.
Your body is supported by water making it easier exercise, less pain- from simple to those that are nearly impossible on land. You don’t sweat like you would with land exercise. Water exercise also help increase flexibility, range of motion, muscle tone, oxygen/circulation, endurance, balance, enjoyment and fun! With the higher intensity water aerobics you also get improved cardiovascular and cardio-respiratory functions and reduce body fat. You can experience these benefits when you participate in a regular scheduled program combine with a healthy diet.
