They all have the same benefits though, giving fantastic calorie- and fat-burning potential without putting too much stress through your joints. Aqua Jogging This is a fantastic way to get all the benefits of going for a run, but with far less impact on your body. Deep Water Aqua These are very similar to standard aqua classes, with additional swimming elements and make for a slightly more intense workout. As a result, you’ll burn more calories and feel more benefits, but you’ll need to be a confident swimmer in order to take part.

It has been suggested, that water exercise is less effective than weight-bearing exercise on land for body fat reduction. The results of this study indicate that there are no differences in the effect of aerobic activities in the water versus weight-bearing aerobic exercise on land on body composition components as long as similar intensity, duration and frequency are used. Significant reductions in body weight, percent body fat, and skinfold and girth measurements, occurred in all groups. There where no significant differences between groups.

Because it is denser than air, water provides 12% to 14% more resistance. Even when you're doing cardio exercises like jogging in water, you're working against more resistance than if you were on land. The resistance of the water also slows down movements that can be quick and jerky on land, creating more smoothly flowing motions that are less likely to aggravate injuries. Your body becomes buoyant in water. When in the water, your joints experience less impact, making the pool a welcoming environment for anyone with arthritis or joint injuries. Burns more calories The resistance you encounter in water also means that you burn more calories than you would on land and helps to work more muscles. In the water, however, resistance comes into play, providing more of a challenge to the opposing muscle. In addition, water-based exercise offers some advantages you can't get on land. Squats that may aggravate arthritic knees on land are often doable in water.
