Aquafit is the most doctor-recommended exercise for all ages and fitness levels. It is impact-free, so it's gentle on bones and joints.
Aquafit provides an exercise program that you control. Your fitness level and energy level dictates how vigorous the work out is. The water provides a simulated weight-bearing environment so it helps build and maintain bone density.
All muscles are worked equally and in pairs because of the water resistance and your abdominal area is used constantly. Water exercise is fun with a variety of resistance equipment for muscle toning. You do not need to be able to swim. You may use the deep or shallow end of the pool and flotation belts are available. None of our exercises immerse your head underwater.
Aquafit classes at our Manotick - Kars aquatic club have been steadily increasing in popularity. Classes fill very quickly - we always have a waiting list. Contact us to reserve space in one of our classes.
