BENEFITS OF AQUA AEROBICS FOR SENIORS
- Exercising in the aquatic environment has health benefits for all ages but as we age, the advantages over land-based workouts become more pronounced.
- Water supports the body, reducing impact and lessening stress on muscles and joints.
- Muscle strength declines with age but by using the resistance of water, this can be slowed or reversed.
- Working against water resistance promotes better balance, flexibility and co-ordination, which in turn reduces the risk of falls.
- Blood Pressure can be lowered due to enhanced circulation, contributing to overall heart health.
- Choreography and routines used in this type of exercise help brain function.
- Exercises can be modified to accommodate individual health issues and the intensity of the workout is decided by each participant.
- Group activities contribute to building a network of friends, making the social aspect equally as important as the physical benefits.
