Low impact
It has been reported that exercising in water makes you feel about 90 percent lighter. When you perform jumping or running exercises in the water, your body does not experience the same impact that these moves cause on land. This makes water aerobics an ideal activity for those with arthritis, back problems, limb injuries and knee conditions. Pregnant women, as well as, obese individuals can also benefit from the reduced impact helping them until they can increase their activity in a safe manner.
