Water Exercise Program

Benefits of Water Exercise

• Increase strength, energy, range of motion, muscle tone, circulation, endurance, balance, and confidence.
• Decrease stress, blood pressure, tension, weight gain, body fate, impact on joints, and risk of injury.
• Enhance overall well-being, sleeping patterns, and the recovery process following injuries.
• Strengthen muscles - water exercise provides 12-14 percent more resistance than exercise on land.
