Strength
When exercising in water, you work against 12 times the resistance of air, according to an article published in American Fitness. By performing simple kicking and cupping motions in the water, it helps contribute to muscle development, which boosts the metabolism and help transform a healthier body. Many water aerobics classes incorporate equipment like water paddles, noodles, single or double buoys, and kickboards to help with strength gains. Push-ups or triceps dips can be done safely on the pool deck to help build stronger muscles.
