This class provides a dynamic cardiovascular total body workout. Benefits include calorie burning, range of motion, and endurance aspects.
This class is a full-body workout involving the legs, arms, shoulders, and core muscles. The water is 773 times more resistant than air, so it serves to strengthen all key running muscles, thus increasing your land-running turnover and stride length. The water resists you only as much as you resist it-so you can work out as hard or as easy as you like.
