Water Exercise Equipment: Safe Workouts
For the ultimate low-impact, all-over body workout, nothing beats the pool. Water exercise equipment such as weights and resistance tools are softer, lighter and safer than iron weights, making them perfect for any user including youngsters and seniors, or those using aquatic activities for rehabilitation.

Aquatic workouts offer even the fittest individuals the benefit of a challenging yet deceptively comfortable fitness routine. With a few very inexpensive pieces of water aerobics equipment, any can get a great cardiovascular workout with these additional benefits:
- Aquacize gently increases the resistance on the body.
- It's comfortable no matter what the weather's doing.
- Pool fitness routines are less jarring on the knees and hips and other joints.
- Water provides support by supporting up to 80% of body weight, while still building up strength.
- This support allows the exerciser to go through a wider range of motion for improved flexibility.
- Aquatics work a wider range of muscles more easily.
All these benefits serve to help individuals burn more calories during the same time frame as traditional fitness routines. Learn more about specific water exercise equipment to make water workouts safer and more effective at Fitness First.
Aquatic fitness is among the safest types of workouts available. If you teach fitness at a club or have access to a pool for your personal fitness, consider adding a few useful pieces of water Aerobics equipment to your workout regimen. Start with a flotation belt for stability and lumbar support during activities that require vertical balance, and move up to resistance bells, water fans, pool buoys, and ankle and wrist weights to add resistance training to an already challenging workout. The great part about using water aerobics equipment is that there's no danger of dropping heavy weights or hyper-extending your arm on downward motions.
Fitness First carries all these products and more, along with a variety of instructional aquatics DVDs to help you make an already challenging workout routine even more effective.
