Get Your Sweat On In New Aqua Fitness Classes

Water workouts have come a long way, and they are in no way a seniors-only event.

You can build some serious strength with water weights, which feel like nothing until you have to push and pull those weights through the water.

Or you can drop the weights and move your hips in an aqua Zumba class.

Keeping up with those Soca beats is that much harder when you try to make moves in the water, so you’ll boost muscle tone and get a cardio workout at the same time.

You can even toss your bike into the pool (not literally) in aqua spin classes, which are popping up in DC and New York studios and even in certain YMCA locations.

Your legs might hate you at first but aqua spin creates extra resistance from the water while working your whole body to stay balanced in the pool.

A lot of these classes are being offered at recreation center pools, your local YMCA, or at your home gym, so grab your swim cap and get a move on!
