A relatively new, popular, pleasant and with a growing number of fans, type of exercise with numerous beneficial results for human health, is Aqua Aerobics. Aqua Aerobics is the ideal activity for overweight individuals or for someone recovering from an injury. The rationale for the aforementioned is that in the first case, via buoyancy the individual feels lighter approximately 80% of their total body weight, while in the second case, exercising in water is undoubtedly the safest mode of exercise. Interestingly, aerobics in the water is an effective way for losing weight. A typical work-out (warm-up, aerobic and anaerobic phase, use of weights and stretching) for 1h, leads to a loss of 400-600 calories, depending on the intensity of the exercise and the advantage that each individual takes regarding
water resistance which is 12 times more than that of air.
