Benefits of Water-Based Exercise at Stanmore Bay 🏊‍♀️

Water exercise like AquaLITE offers unique advantages you won't find in land-based workouts. The natural buoyancy of water reduces stress on your joints while providing natural resistance for strengthening muscles.

• Joint-friendly movement: The water supports your body weight, making exercises comfortable even if you have arthritis, are recovering from injury, or have mobility challenges
• Natural resistance: Water provides 12 times more resistance than air, helping you build strength without heavy weights
• Improved flexibility: Warm water helps relax muscles, increasing your range of motion
• Better balance: The supportive environment helps improve stability and confidence
• Cardiovascular health: Water workouts effectively elevate your heart rate while feeling gentler than land exercises
