Aquatic CardioFit
This safe, fun, and effective workout uses water exercises to build muscle and reduce body fat with little or no impact to joints... all done in a heated pool to fun and energizing music. The water offers a heavier resistance than air, so participants can experience a challenging workout while the buoyancy takes away most or all of the impact to bones and joints!
Optional: Bring aquatic fitness gloves to increase resistance.
Instructor: Karen Eldridge
Aquatic NoodleFit
Set to upbeat music, this program is a low-impact/ high energy, full-body interval water workout that concentrates on using the noodle as a prop to offer additional resistance and buoyancy while we effectively perform grounded and suspended pool exercises interspersed with cardio blasts to develop muscle tone (upper and lower body + abdominals) and cardiovascular fitness. Please join us in our heated pool and splash your way to a healthier you.
*Bring your own pool noodle.
