WATER WORKOUT


"the fitness value of water exercise is superb"

Exercising in the water is a good choice anytime of the year. It conditions the heart, lungs and all major muscle groups, building muscle endurance and strength as well as cardio-respiratory endurance. Best of all, since 90% of your body is supported by water, there is a very small injury risk because there is a little stress on joints and ligaments.

Be aware, water exercise is probably the best choice for those who are overweight and out of shape, and for those who have arthritis or knee and lower-back problems.
