What are the Benefits of Aqua Aerobics?

Whether you’re looking for a fun new hobby, want to burn calories or are just looking to keep active, water aerobics is a great form of exercise that anyone can do.

Some of the benefits of aqua aerobics include:

  • A full body workout - by doing water aerobics, your balance, agility and endurance will improve overall, making these water-based classes a great activity for people returning to exercise or just starting out.
  • Toned muscles – the combination of water and light weights provide resistance so you have to work harder than you would out of the water.
  • Low-impact exercises - aqua aerobic exercises tend to be kind to joints, making this a great class for those recovering from injury.
  • Great for mobility – over time, your joint mobility will improve, as the water supports most of your weight, so you can work out gently, yet intensely.
  • Fun and social –taught within a group and to the beat of uplifting tunes, you’ll enjoy your workout, and it won’t even feel like exercise!

What to Bring to an Aqua Aerobics class?

While you don’t need any special equipment for one of our aqua aerobics classes, remember to bring what you would usually take when you go swimming: a swimming costume or shorts, and a towel. Any resistance weights used during the class will be provided.

Water shoes and googles are optional, but don’t forget to bring a water bottle to hydrate after the class.

While mainly a cardio-based exercise option, the resistance of being in the water will help to build muscles and increase your strength. To push yourself even further, try adding some light weights or attending one of our Deep Aqua Aerobics classes.
