Benefits of Water-Based HIIT Training 🏊‍♂️💪

AquaHIIT combines the fat-burning, fitness-boosting benefits of high-intensity interval training with the natural resistance and buoyancy of water. This innovative workout is gaining popularity throughout New Zealand for good reason!

Why aqua workouts are brilliant:

• The water provides natural resistance in all directions, challenging your muscles more effectively than many land-based exercises
• Reduced impact on joints makes it accessible while still delivering an intense workout
• Water pressure helps improve circulation and cardiovascular health
• The cooling effect of water helps prevent overheating during high-intensity efforts
• Research shows water-based exercise can burn as many calories as land-based alternatives

During your AquaHIIT session, you'll push through challenging 30-second intervals followed by brief recovery periods. This workout style has been proven to improve cardiovascular fitness, boost metabolism, and continue burning calories hours after your workout ends - a phenomenon known as "afterburn."

The shallow-water environment adds stability while still challenging your core and balance. The constantly changing exercises keep your mind engaged and your body guessing, preventing fitness plateaus and boredom.

Whether you're looking to supplement your existing fitness routine, seeking a low-impact alternative due to joint concerns, or simply wanting to try something refreshingly different, AquaHIIT delivers a challenging and effective workout suitable for various fitness levels.
