Benefits of Water-Based Exercise for Limited Mobility 🏊‍♀️

Water-based exercises like Hydromotion offer unique advantages for those with mobility challenges. The natural buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints while providing gentle resistance for an effective workout.

Why water fitness works so well:

• Water supports up to 90% of your body weight, making movements easier and safer
• Natural resistance of water builds strength without heavy weights
• Improved flexibility and range of motion with reduced pain
• Enhanced balance and coordination in a fall-safe environment
• Excellent cardiovascular workout with minimal impact

The use of specialised equipment like toggles and weights adds variety and intensity options to your water workout. These tools increase resistance while maintaining the low-impact nature of the exercise.

Regular participation in water fitness classes like Hydromotion can help improve overall mobility, build confidence in movement, and provide a supportive social environment. Many participants find the warm water therapeutic for joint conditions while still getting an effective workout. 💪
