Why Water Exercise?
Water exercise classes, often called Aqua Fit, use the buoyancy and the natural resistive forces of water to strengthen both muscles and the cardiovascular system. Water exercise has proven to be one of the healthiest, most versatile whole-body workouts for top athletes, fitness enthusiasts, youth and seniors alike.
