Aqua-Jogging A Powerful Exercise For The Old And Young Alike

Swimming is known to be a very good form of exercise as it puts less amount of stress on joints and bones. This is due to the fact that the density of human body is almost equal to that of water. For the same reasons, swimming sport has always been recommended by the physicians for the weak and injured ones.  Aqua-jogging is also a very effective form of exercise for pre and post surgery patients as the water resistance makes it a low impact form of exercise. It is also proven to be as effective for the elderly and overweight people as the buoyancy of the water helps reduce the stress on the joints. Besides promoting cardiovascular conditioning, aqua-jogging also helps relieve stiffness, stress fractures and aching joints.  All that you need to get started is a swimming wear and an aqua jogging belt. The aqua-jogging belt helps maintain the exact upright position required and provides support to the body in water. It is also used as a floatation device for the body. The belt is a mandatory device to be used during the exercise. Light weight shoes with gripping soles and special gloves may also be used as per one’s choice.

   Though aqua-jogging is a suitable form of exercise for all, it is especially beneficent for the aged people whose bones are weak and brittle. Though it isn’t any hard thing to do, one must exercise the caution of keeping the body upright while doing the jogging, which is largely supported by the belt itself. This makes it mandatory for use as mentioned earlier, while doing the exercise.  Aquatic jogging is also done by athletics for physical training purpose. It helps them build their body and muscles which guards them against injuries to a large extent. Since the exercise is performed in water, it is harmless to do even for the injured athletes to maintain their fitness level without affecting the already injured body parts.  To sum up, the benefits provided by aqua-jogging are ease of doing, stress reduction, joint flexibility, improved body flexibility, lower heart rate, hypertension reduction and increase of body strength.  Bedrock Pools is a premier swimming pool company in Texas.
