Let Water Take Your Weight
Swimming is well known to be one of the best forms of exercise. The UK government have even taken steps to encourage everybody to get into swimming by reducing the charges at municipal swimming baths.
Swimming is great for everybody, young and old. Since body weight in water is only around one tenth of what it is in air aqua aerobics is particularly good for those who are overweight.
Regular swimming will build endurance and does a lot for the cardiovascular system. It is an ideal form of exercise for pregnant women, those with back pain or arthritis.
Since the body is so much lighter in water it is a particularly excellent place to work of those excess pounds. As peoples awareness of the need to maintain a healthy weight has grown so has the popularity of aqua aerobics. Aqua aerobics is generally less aggressive on the joints and muscles and this helps you to keep exercising for longer. In a 30 minute workout you can expect to burn around 300 calories.
Aqua exercise is particularly good for improving strength and mobility. The cushioning effect of water makes this form of exercise particularly suitable for elderly people, those who are overweight and pregnant women.
If you are lucky enough to be close by to a swimming pool or health spa, you will have the best opportunity to get involved in some water based exercise. The trick with any form of exercise is to start very gently indeed. Less is more as the saying goes. The crucial thing in your early sessions is to not put yourself off by overdoing it. The first few sessions should be all about getting into the new routine of regular exercise. It might be worth having a massage after the first few sessions also, which will relax the muscles and get rid of any lactic acid build up.
Try a gentle introduction, particularly if you haven't exercised in a while and why not invite some family or friends to join you. In fact you are far more likely to stick to your new exercise regime if you have an exercise buddy to do it with you. You can pick up monthly memberships at leisure facilities or buy some spa gift vouchers, both of which make a perfect present for anyone wanting to get back in shape.
You might even want to think about investing in building a pool at your home. You’ll need to be serious about aqua exercise, but in the long run you’ll find it much more convenient and even cost effective.
