Aquarobics

Aquarobics comprises a series of safe and effective exercises performed in water to music. Exercising in water provides an all-body workout without putting strain on the joints. The ability to swim is not necessary, there is virtually no risk of injury and it is rare to suffer from muscle soreness afterwards. Based on physiological principles, the exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles and make them firmer, to promote flexibility, mobility and balance, to increase the efficiency of heart and lungs, to tone up the body contours and to improve health and fitness levels. They are suitable for people of all ages, and are also effective in treating a wide range of physical disorders such as sports injuries, joint pains, arthritis, rheumatism and back pain. As well as containing a workout section of exercises for the whole body, the book includes special sections on ante- and post-natal exercises, exercises for older people and for the overweight, for problem backs, hips and knees and for the ultra-fit.
