Is it possible to get a good workout without causing the body so much pain? The thousands of people who have taken water fitness classes at the Scott County Family Y know the answer: Absolutely! The movement of the body through water provides resistance throughout the workout. This means that not only is the heart rate increased while calories are burned, but the entire body is also toned as every muscle is exercised. On land, the force of gravity makes weight bearing painful because of the compression of the joints in the arms, legs and abdomen. Because water also makes us more buoyant, the pain caused by these forces on the body is eliminated. This creates an extremely effective, but still lower impact –and therefore less painful -- alternative to land-based fitness. At the Scott County Family Y, we offer water exercise classes for all ages, all fitness levels and all abilities. We have designed the programs for both swimmers and non-swimmers. Our well-trained instructors will give everyone a great workout while helping them reach their health and fitness goals. Come in and join us for a stellar workout… And a lot of fun!
