AQUACIZE
Exercise in the pool using water resistance to enhance strength, flexibility,
muscle tone and endurance for a full body workout. Aqua-Job is always a part of
the program and the Noodle Workout using swim noodles to enhance lower body
exercises. You need not be a swimmer. All are welcome.
DEEP H2O
This is the next step after aquacize to build
endurance and stamina. Couple this with aquacize for a more
intense work out, or use it as a stand alone class.
PRENATAL AQUACIZE
For a safe. low-impact exercise
program you can follow all nine months of pregnancy, enroll in the new
prenatal Aquacize program. Swimming, water jogging, and aqua aerobics
are some of the best exercises to perform while pregnant. Our YMCA
offers a class combining these activities into a low intensity program.
The ability to swim is not required- many moves are performed in waist
or chest-high water. Exercising in the water is ideal for pregnant women
because the water's buoyancy requires you to support only 50% of your
body weight, it reduces the risk of stress-related injuries, and the
compression of the water is soothing on joints and muscles that are
stressed by the added bulk of pregnancy. The water's temperature also
keeps you from overheating during your workout.
Senior Aqua Exercise
Senior Aqua Exercise is a low-impact, 40 minute class that
focuses on enhancing movement, strengthening muscles, and increasing
your range of motion. This class is ideal for individuals with back
pain, arthritis, hypertension and joint replacement conditions and
for those who have weakness and or physical limitations.
