Aquatic Exercise Program

Class Description and Schedule
Fees    

     Water exercise is commonly used for its rehabilitative properties.  What most people don’t realize is that aquatic training is an excellent way to add variety to your workout, while still achieving cardiovascular and strength gains. 

You may not have known that....        

¨Water is 12 times more viscous than air, providing greater resistance

¨In water at chest height, the body will weigh 35% of normal body weight.  At shoulder height, this decreases to 10%, resulting in less joint stress and greater range of motion.

¨Studies have shown that the same degree of muscle fitness can be achieved in water as on land.  Strength and toning results can be achieved in 1/4 the time, with gains 4 to 12 times faster in water.
