Summer is over, but news is it’s not getting any cooler. If the gym and sweating doesn’t agree with you, try Water Aerobics and check out #SugaEndorsed @poolaerobics on Instagram !

1. IT IS LOW IMPACT
Beneficial for older adults/persons who do not want to put a lot of stress on the joints.

Buoyancy of water supports your weight, giving its own resistance, reducing impact on joints and the intensity of pain.

2. GREAT FOR CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS
It still gets your heart pumping and has you breathing hard as you work out.
You still need to hydrate.

3. BUILDS CORE STRENGTH
With proper execution of Water Aerobics movement, you are forced to activate your core to keep balanced and stable above water.

4. IT IMPROVES MOBILITY & FLEXIBILITY
Some movements involve bending towards the toes, reaching upwards, stretching the back, arms etc.
If you stumble or lose your balance, the water makes for a soft landing.

5. IT CAN BR A RECOVERY WORKOUT
Helps you wind down from other workouts

“The Best Snacks for Weight Loss” with Me on MelloFM88!


Eating a snack between meals helps curb hunger so that you take time to eat your Lunch and Dinner and you feel fine with the portions. Snacking can also help you get in all the nutrients you need.

It helps to have healthy snack options on hand so that you’re prepared when hunger strikes. Many of these weight-loss snacks are also great on-the-go snack options.

  1. NUTS
    Has healthy fats and they are full of fibre.
    If maintaing weight, Almonds are fine, but Peanuts are recommend for persons with weight loss goals.
    Add dried fruit to make it fun.
  2. GRAPEFRUIT
    It satisfies and has strong antioxidants. Delivers 100% of Women’s Vitamin C needs for the day.
    ***If on medication, clear with Doctor first.
  3. POPCORN
    High in fibre with some protein too.
    No butter it light butter. Ensure it is 5% or less in sat fat with 0% cholesterol and you’re good to go.
  4. YOGURT
    Provides Calcium and Fiber. It can fill even more Nutritional gaps by adding Fruits. Therefore choose plain Yogurt, not flavoured Yogurt.
  5. Chocolate, BUT DARK CHOCOLATE
    Losing weight doesn’t mean giving up the foods you love. Giving yourself little treats may be the secret to successfully managing your weight. Completely avoiding the foods you enjoy may end cause overeating just to feel satisfied, 

BONUS
GRAPES – High in natural sugar
A cup of Grapes is 100 caloreies
Pairing with low-fat Cheese makes a fantastic snack as well.
