1. If you do not know swimming, do not fret. You are standing neck deep in water and doing all the exercises.
2. Moreover, since you are working against the resistance of water, you end up burning eight times more calories than any other normal floor aerobics. 3. Yet the buoyancy of water works to help you in the movement. So you work better on your flexibility too. Hence you strengthen & stretch much better in water. 4. Movements are naturally balanced in water. Muscles that are tight on land are stretched with buoyancy in the water, whereas lax muscles are strengthened with the resistance of water. 5. Still after a rigorous session in water, you do not come out feeling sweaty but on the contrary, you are fresh. 6. The hydrostatic pressure i.e. the force of the water against the body, acts like a massage, thereby helping the return of blood to heart more efficiently. Thus respiratory system works better.
