Aqua gym tones the muscles, gives life to the heart and lungs at the end it helps to fight the stress. The water gymnastics are the same with the grounds ones, obviously in a slower rhythm which makes the exercise more efficient.
The real equipment in these case is the water, the water resistance found in every movement is approximately 12 time bigger than the one done in the air.
In aqua gym one can accomplish multiple exercise that would have been impossible on the ground. The absence of gravity in the water helps one to do the exercises without any type knuckle injuries. Working under the water, against the resistance, involves all the muscles of the body. The main advantages of this type of training is on cardiovascular, muscular and flexibility level.
BENEFITS
- Provides a zero strain impact on the weight bearing joints or the back.
- The resistance of the water ensures that the exerciser dose not work beyond his/her capability

- Increases / maintains bone density
- Works muscles that are rarely used on land that have therefore lost tone
- Excellent weight loss programming potential, due to the higher energy requirement than similar land based exercises
