Benefits of Low-Impact Water Exercise for All Abilities 🏊‍♀️

Water-based exercise offers unique advantages that make it ideal for those beginning their fitness journey or managing mobility challenges. The buoyancy of water supports your body weight, reducing stress on joints while still providing effective resistance for muscle strengthening.

Why choose water-based exercise:

• The natural resistance of water helps improve strength without putting stress on your body
• Water supports up to 90% of your body weight, making movements easier and safer
• The gentle pressure of water helps improve circulation and reduce swelling
• Water exercise can improve flexibility, balance, and coordination in a fall-safe environment
• Moving in water can help maintain or increase range of motion in joints

During Activate Aqua, you'll benefit from exercises specially designed for the shallow end of the pool. The class atmosphere is supportive and non-competitive, making it an excellent choice for those new to exercise or returning after illness or injury.

No swimming skills are required as all activities take place in shallow water where you can comfortably stand. The warm pool environment is particularly soothing for those with joint stiffness or muscle tension.

Regular participation in water fitness can lead to improved mobility, increased confidence, better sleep quality, and enhanced overall wellbeing. It's also a wonderful way to meet others in a friendly, social setting.

Come along to experience the gentle yet effective workout that Activate Aqua offers at the Keith Spry Pool. Suitable workout gear includes a comfortable swimming costume and, if desired, aqua shoes for additional stability on the pool floor.
