Exercising in water is a great way to get
into shape without the aches and pains that
land-based workouts can cause. When submerged,
your chances of injury decrease significantly
because 90% of your body weight is supported
by water. Plus exercising in water, unlike
on land, offers resistance in all directions,
providing you with twice the workout in half
the time while simultaneously preventing you
from overheating. You simply adjust the temperature
of your Aquatic Fitness System to fit your
workout needs.
Regular
swimming builds endurance,
muscle strength, and cardiovascular
fitness. It's a relaxing activity
that strengthens and tones
your entire body with minimal
impact on your joints.
Walk
/ Run
Wear
your adjustable HydroSport
body belt with tensor cords
attached & begin exercising
as part of your circuit training
program. Walk, jog, run, or
do aqua aerobics; face into
the jet current, which you
control, for added resistance;
easily tailor your workouts
to your exercise goals.
Stretch
Hanging
on to a bar to stretch is
not cheating! AFS is equipped
with a series of mounts that
you can use to install stationary
exercise bars. Water Yoga
anyone? Exercise physiologists
recommend stretching before
& after workouts. AFS's
warm water increases blood
flow & mobility for a
better stretch.
Row
One of
the best ways to increase
your overall strength - especially
for shoulders & back -
is by rowing. It's also extremely
effective for overall cardiovascular
fitness. Oars, several multiple-length
tensor cords and everything
you need are provided in your
HydroSport Gear. You can also
hook up tensor cords to mounts
behind you to do bench presses;
add more tensor cords for
increased resistance.
Strength
Train
Increase
muscle strength & definition
by hooking up the tensor cords
to your fitness bar, "D"
handles or ankle cuffs, all
included in your HydroSport
Gear. This equipment is the
water-proof version of the
same equipment used in gyms
for lat pull downs, triceps,
biceps, & many other muscle
groups.
