If you are looking to take a break from your daily exercise routine and want to try something different, then try water aerobics. Water aerobics, also known as aqua aerobics or pool aerobics, is a refreshing, low-impact exercise performed in the water that offers multiple health benefits, including cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, flexibility, and improves balancing act. Those individuals who suffer from fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, and suffer with balancing must try aquatic aerobics.

How does exercising in water burn calories? Water provides more resistance than the air and is more challenging. More resistance means your muscles are engaged more and helps to burn more calories in a short amount of time. Water buoyance gives extra support for joints and body. It helps to make a person work harder with less stress on the body.

Moreover, water aerobics is good for both summer and winter seasons – in summer you can work out in cool water and winter an indoor heated pool makes you feel comfortable to work out and always keeps you refreshed.
