JAquaCise
Some benefits of Jaquacise; click here for more.
- In Jaquacise one learns to use the property of water. Working forcefully, pushing and pulling water around in the work-out creates a challenge for the muscles to work harder.
- When training in water one’s heart rate is lower compared to dry-land aerobics.
- The supporting factor of water occurs inside and outside the body. Water acts as a compressor on your circulation, making your blood flow easier and reducing stress on your heart, lowering the heartbeat.
- A more efficient circulation means oxygen is easily absorbed by your muscles when exercising, reducing the heart’s workload as more oxygen can be absorbed.
- The buoyancy of water or gravity change on the body makes it easier for the heart to pump blood back uphill through your system, lowering the heart rate. There can be up to a 13% difference in a Jaquacise compared to a land work-out to the heart rate, or it can be up to 20 beats per minute lower.
