Missed The Benefits of Water Aerobics with Me on MelloFM88?!

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.
Excellent for rehabilitation
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

***BONUS***
Di Wata Feel Nice!
Water is therapeutic and cold water can have an anti-inflammatory effect on persons with arthritis, knee issues and achey joints.
