Water Exercise is a great full body workout that has the benefit of taking place in the pool. Build strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness using the natural resistance of the water. This low impact form of exercise is easy on the joints as well as fun and refreshing. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints and bones, and is ideal for individuals with arthritis, or joint pain. Water exercise is a full-body, low-impact work out that works major muscle groups through resistance and cardio moves increasing cardivascular fitness. Exercising in the water increases the heart rate without putting excess strain on the body. Find informaiton on water fitness classes and other programs offered on our programs webpage.
