Resistance in water ranges between 4 and 42 times greater than air. This makes water a natural weight training machine. Water provides resistance in all directions. With the addition of water fitness equipment resistance is increased to strengthen and tone muscles. Buoyancy The upward thrust exerted by water – which acts in the opposite direction of the force of gravity. Waters buoyancy virtually eliminates the effects of gravity – reducing 90% of the body’s weight for reduced impact. Water acts as a cushion for the body’s weight bearing joints – reducing stress on muscles, tendons and ligaments. H2O Heart Rate The hydrostatic pressure of water pushes equally on all body surfaces and helps the heart circulate blood by aiding venous return. Weight Loss Water has a greater resistance than air which means walking in water requires more effort and ultimately burns more calories.
