Water aerobics is an exercise choice that is for non-swimmers as well as for swimmers. Water aerobics benefits your overall health, increases your strength and your body fitness.
If you are suffering from a sports injury or injury from exercising in another program water aerobics allows you to give your injured muscles and joints the range of motion needed to avoid stiffness and speed up healing because of the water buoyancy.

Water aerobics also increases the flow of oxygen to
your blood, and strengthens both bones and muscles. Anyone can
participate in water aerobic as long as they can safely get into a
pool. Many physically challenged individuals have enjoyed the
exercise offered by water aerobics.
Did you know that water offers your body resistance from all sides? This over all resistance is one of the reasons that water aerobics is an excellent choice for those who need a rehabilitating exercise program. While participating in water aerobics you will walk, stretch, run, and even jog under water.
Doing these activities under water puts no pressure on your joints or bones. Water aerobics is also an excellent cardio-respiration fitness workout. Water aerobics strengthen hip muscles and tones abdominal muscles. Water aerobics can also strengthen and tone your biceps and your triceps, your back, arms and shoulders.
Fitness EquipmentStrength training requires a variety of movements that challenge each muscle to build up the amount of force each muscle can put out at any one given time. A fitness program that uses the concept called "muscle confusion" is helpful in strength training because your body is forced to do different movement constantly, which eliminates the "plateau effect" in training.

You do need to be careful while participating in water aerobics because it can lead to dehydration so please drink plenty of water before the water aerobic class, and after the class is over. The chlorine in the pool water can cause your skin to dry out so take a warm shower and then apply lotion to your skin to moisturize it.
The low-impact, gentle exercising of water aerobics is a perfect exercise for those suffering from arthritis. Swimming can be refreshing, reduces the occurrence of overheating from exercising and does not require any special skills so that anyone of any age group can participate in water aerobics.
