With new forms of group workouts becoming available, it may be difficult to find a class that suits your specific needs. Seniors specifically may struggle to find a workout class that can accommodate varying levels of skill and mobility. Aquatic classes are rising in popularity, and it’s no surprise, due to these classes offering great benefits for seniors. Finding a facility that offers these classes is easier than you think!
According to the CDC, swimming and exercising in water are the fourth most popular sports activities in the United States. Water exercises can benefit seniors by greatly decreasing stress on the joints. The resistance of water gives the body a full workout without having to use a machine or free weights. Water also relaxes the muscles while exercising, meaning that the body may feel less drained after a workout session or class. Many aquatic exercise classes can also accommodate varying mobility levels!
