It is said that we are born from water, and long to return to it.
Whether as a species or as individuals, it is a part of our past, and there is something very comforting about being in warm water.
Perhaps this explains the popularity of swimming and water based classes. Often referred to as aqua classes, these types of activities are becoming more and more popular.
Most water classes are based on activities originally used in physical therapy. Physical therapists discovered long ago that this is an element that is ideally suited for rehabilitation, allowing patients to recover gently from injury or surgery, their body weight partially supported.
Aqua classes also became very popular among older people and pregnant women, each of whom can benefit from activities conducted in an environment that partially supports their body weight.
However, a new generation of equipment has led to aqua classes of a much more demanding nature, with floats and aqua weights providing a level of resistance previously only possible in land based activities.
So why don't you check out what your local health club has to offer? You might find aquatic activities to suit both your mood and your fitness level.
