Water fitness is an amazing way to stay in shape this summer! Our Clubhouse pool is now open and Water Fitness classes will be starting on Monday, June 12th! Yay! Registration for these classes will begin on June 12th at 8:30 am at the Clubhouse pool. The cost for the classes is $7.00 per drop-in or $125.00 for the season. Check out the benefits of water fitness according to livestrong.com, “Exercising in water has so many benefits. Buoyancy allows you to perform exercises you may find a lot more difficult to do on land and the resistance it provides makes it easier to tone your muscles. Water also keeps you cooler while exercising so you don’t get all sweaty. Water aerobics has the advantage of providing the cardiovascular workout you’d get in the gym while also improving muscle tone.
When you do aerobic exercises in the gym, a lot of the focus is on muscles in the lower half of the body. As result, you may have a well-toned butt, thighs, and legs after all those star jumps and knee lifts, but your upper body muscles don’t get the same workout. Movement in water offers 12 to 14 percent more resistance than in air, which means your muscles get a better toning workout in the water. Plus, you can exercise with the water at upper chest level, which means your upper torso and arms are being toned, which is the same as when you swim.”
So whether it is enjoying the LOW pools on your own for some fun-in-the-sun exercise or joining the LOW Water Fitness Group, you will find LOw’s two pools are a great way to shape up this summer.
