Water Aerobics

Aerobic water workouts incorporate a variety of rhythmic body movements and dance steps performed in the water. Programs vary from basic to advanced classes. In beginning programs, the participant learns to combine arm and leg movement in varying combinations. As water aerobic programs become more advanced, they incorporate more intricate dance and calisthenics movements.

The main purpose of water aerobics is to improve cardiovascular conditioning. Because of the waters resistance, water exercise also can improve your strength and flexibility, leading to better muscular endurance and balance.
