Fitness
AQUATIC STRENGTHENING In this class we use the resistance and weightlessness of your body in the water to strengthen and sculpt your muscles while deepening your awareness to your breath in combination with movement. This is a powerful workout for anyone, including people with physical limitations, recovering from injuries, pre and post pregnancy, and for athletes that want to turn it up a notch and cross train with the added weight of water. Working out in the water creates a strong core. With direction, water propels you into full body alignment. You can get your heart rate up and keep the impact low on your joints. You control the amount of intensity of each exercise by how hard you push into the water. For example, one of the movements we do is based on an exercise that NFL quarterbacks use to train. Doing this in a pool with the additional pressure of water builds the strength and endurance needed to make a touch down, or to generally feel stronger and more vital in your daily life activities.
