Aquafitness

Combining aerobics and gymnastics exercises, it has a beneficial effect on the body.

Aquafitness is a set of exercises performed in water, which mostly combine aerobics and gymnastics exercises and have a beneficial effect on the body. Similar to land aerobics classes, it develops conditioning and coordination skills in a variety of ways, and stimulates the mobility of our joints, while protecting them. Similar to aerobics, water aerobics classes also focus on conditioning exercises performed to music, which develop stamina, strengthen the body and at the same time help burn fat.

No swimming skills are required to perform the exercises. The tasks are performed with the aid of equipment. One such piece of equipment is water weights, which are weights made of polyurethane foam. They are light as a feather on land, but underwater, the resistance of the medium makes them much harder to move, as if we were training with 2-4 kg weights on land.

Aquafitness is recommended for all those who love water and exercise and are happy to combine them. People suffering from joint pain can do intense exercise without straining their joints. Older people who may also struggle with other health problems or find it harder to move can keep themselves in good shape without excessive strain. Overweight people and people with difficulty moving can also perform the exercises using the buoyancy of water. It helps those who have been bedridden for a long time (e.g. after a bone fracture) to regenerate. Aqua fitness exercises promote rapid recovery after injuries. It is an excellent strengthening exercise for those who are starting out in a sport, and a supplement for regular athletes and dancers. It is also a great remedy for scoliosis, some kind of posture problem, or just regular back and waist pain.
