AQUA -FITNESS will be starting at the Lions Pool on Monday, July 6. Exercising in the water is not new, nor has it escaped the impact of the fitness move- ment. The design of the work-out has been changing and today is evolving into ,one of the Meg exciting trends in fitness. The water workout IS a complete and total fitness classPerformed in various dep- ths of water. Swimmers will find that it of- fers an exciting alternative to lap swimming and NON -swimmers will find that swimm- ing skills are not required. People of all ages, abilities and fitness levels will find working out in water an invigorating challenge. Activities , are designed to stimulate the cardiovdscular system crease flexibility and'improve muscular • strength and endurance. Although par- ticipants stand in a vertical position for most if not all of the class, the poSsibility of injury is remote since the stress of jumping, jogging is reducesl by the buoyancy factor. A body immersed in water will lose up to 90% of its weight therefore reducing stress on the bones, joints and ligaments. Those who have already sustained an injury will find the water an ideal place to rehabilitate and to continue exercising after rehabilitation. Similar to an aerobics class on land the water work-out is led by an instructor who may use music to create an enjoyable and energetic experience. Why not find out for yourself?
