Benefits of Water-Based Exercise for Kiwis 🏊‍♀️

AquaFit classes offer a brilliant workout solution for Kiwis of various fitness backgrounds. The natural buoyancy of water creates a low-impact environment that's particularly gentle on joints while still providing effective resistance for strength building.

Why water workouts are fantastic:

• Water provides natural resistance in all directions, giving you a comprehensive workout
• The buoyancy reduces stress on weight-bearing joints by up to 90%
• Excellent option for those recovering from injuries or managing arthritis
• Great for cardiovascular fitness without the harsh impact of land exercises
• Supports better balance and coordination in a safe environment

Exercising in water can burn similar calories to land workouts while feeling less strenuous. The constant resistance of water means you're building muscle and improving cardiovascular health simultaneously, making it a time-efficient workout option for busy Kiwis.

The refreshing nature of water exercise also provides mental health benefits, with many participants reporting reduced stress and improved mood following sessions. The social aspect of group water fitness creates a supportive community that keeps you motivated on your fitness journey.
