Aqua Fitness
Aqua fitness is not just swimming and Aquasize..
Tuesday, October 14th, 2008When I think about aqua exercise, I think about the standard aqua workouts you see in the health clubs; a group of people in waist to shoulder deep water being led by an instructor through a series of cardio and strength exercises getting in shape. I also picture lap swimmers going back and forth and [...]
Aqua Cycle - Good idea or just another fad?
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008I love new products so when I heard about the Aqua Bike I wanted to know more. This is not a new gadget or fitness tool but it is one I have never seen or used. The aquatic bike is easy to install, and is endowed with different levels of resistence. It unites both the advantages of [...]
New aqua exercise equipment - The shin fin
Sunday, January 27th, 2008If you enjoy swimming as a form of exercise you may be constantly on the look out for new and innovative ways to… well, swim.

Pool workouts all year round
Friday, December 7th, 2007Sure, in the summer it makes sense to enjoy the great outdoors with an aqua workout but what about in the winter? Why quit your pool exercise just because it’s cool outside? The truth is most fitness facilities that offer aqua classes will either heat their pool or have an indoor option. You can keep [...]

Aqua Cardio Choreopgrahy
Saturday, October 13th, 2007As you know, cardio aqua classes are a wonderful way to get a good workout without any stress to the joints of the legs or spine. They are for all age levels although they seem to have gotten the reputation for being an elderly class. The truth is these classes are beneficial for all levels of [...]
Aqua Yoga Choreography

Aqua Fitness
Sunday, August 12th, 2007Aqua workouts have been around for years but have been viewed as workouts for the elderly or feeble. This is simply not so. Aqua workouts can be for the senior population as well as those with injuries or recovering from an injury but thanks to innovative programming, aqua workouts are also seeing an increase in [...]
Aqua Yoga
Friday, August 10th, 2007I am beyond excited about a new class format I thought of (not that I am the first).. aqua yoga.
