WATER
FITNESS PROGRAMS
Program Objectives:
Land Exercise offers
tremendous benefits, but too often those benefits are accompanied by
aches and pains, overheating, sweating and feelings of exhaustion. Water allows us to achieve all the wonderful benefits of exercise
without experiencing these side effects. After water exercise,
you'll feel refreshed and full of energy.
Regular water exercise can improve
all five components of physical fitness: aerobic fitness, muscle
strength, muscle endurance, flexibility and body composition.
