WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT AQUA AEROBICS?
In water our body has a fraction of the gravity it has on land, so the intensity is different than the same moves on land. A body completely under water would weight only 10% of what it weighs on land. For aqua aerobics, it’s best to have the water reach at least as high as your waist, so approximately half of your body weight is supported by the water. We move more slowly under water because water has more resistance than air. This resistance can add a lot of intensity to your every move. The stronger you are and faster you try to move through the water – the more resistance the water will give you. This is not intended as medical advice which should be obtained directly from your doctor.
