Aqua Fit and Aqua HITT Classes at the Sports Park Pool

Better known as “water aerobics,” Aqua Fitness classes are more than just aerobics. This a low impact, calorie burning, strength building, and intense form of exercise that will help you reach your physical fitness goals. At the Villages of Westcreek, you can currently attend a one hour aerobic and strength building Aqua Fit class from 9:30-10:30 am or Aqua HIIT which is non-stop intensity for thirty minutes from 6:10-6:40 am.

The benefits of Aqua Fitness are very often overlooked. The low impact aspect is great for everyone! If you are a beginner, just coming back to exercising, recovering from an injury or surgery, and just want to supplement your active lifestyle.  Another benefit of the low impact effect is the fact that you can make the class as intense as you’d like without all the soreness or aches and pains that come with on land high impact workouts.  Hydrostatic pressure acts like wearing a compression stocking over the parts of the body that are submerged, aiding in the recovery process. This pressure also acts to apply resistance up 12x that of gravity helping you build strength. Just because the workout is low impact does not mean it isn’t high intensity.  You will leap, hop, kick, punch, and jump bringing up your heart rate and getting you out of breath just like your favorite high impact classes. This makes the class a calorie burner. Depending on your body and how intensely you move through the water.

On Tuesday we hop, skip, and jump. Wednesday, we incorporate kickboxing. Thursday, we take full advantage of buoyancy and work on suspension. Each class type is just a bit different in how they approach the different themes.  The Aqua HIIT thirty-minute class will take you through each theme day without a break and hardly every standing still except to move your arms through the water as intensely as you can. The Aqua fitness full hour class will give you time to rest and catch your breath in between intervals. The Thursday suspension work also involves mobility wall work to help improve range of motion. Come give Aqua a try!
