Water aerobics is one of the most effective forms of aerobic exercise. It is great for all ages and levels of intensity because all water aerobic routines can be modified to meet individual needs, restrictions and fitness levels. It typically gives you more resistance without pressure on your joints and muscles because of the participants' buoyancy in the water. One of the biggest advantages of exercising in the water is that is offers resistance in all direction as opposed to land exercises where you work only against gravity.

Water aerobics has continually proven itself to be a better workout than land exercises in many circumstances. Some examples include:

• The natural resistance offered by water leads to better muscular endurance and tone.
• The average person burns 450-700 calories per hour while working out in the water which is around 150 to 200 calories more than the same duration and exercise sequence as land exercises. This is due primarily to the resistance.
• Water pressure on the legs assists in circulation.
