The development of water fitness
In the past ten years, land aerobics has been very popular in China. However, in the process of exercise, the human body is in a state of local tension, and the joints of limbs produce certain compression, which has a great influence and can cause musculoskeletal tissue damage. In water, due to the influence of buoyancy (lift), pressure and resistance of water, it can not only minimize the impact force brought by exercise and land, but also increase the intensity of each exercise, consume a lot of energy, enhance cardiopulmonary function and improve muscle strength.

"Water Fitness" is a novel concept of health, and it is a water sport that rose in Europe and America in the middle of the 20th century. Suitable for people at different levels to lose weight, it has always been considered as the healthiest, most effective, safest and without side effects. Including "water yoga", "water equipment" and "water aerobics" These fitness programs combine land fitness with swimming and synchronized swimming, making full use of water resistance, buoyancy, pressure, heat transfer, water massage and other comprehensive fitness methods. Through the combination of multiple sports, combined with the most advanced bodybuilding training methods abroad, participants do not need swimming skills and special equipment, regardless of men, women and children, through a set of systematic and targeted short-term underwater body training.

What's it like to exercise in the water? Maybe some people prefer to understand it as swimming. In fact, this fitness program, which first appeared in Beijing and even in China, combines synchronized swimming, dance, aerobics, bodybuilding and swimming training, with both land movements and water movements, which can be described as a great fusion of various styles.

Chen Qi, a former national synchronized swimming team athlete, has achieved good results in many competitions at home and abroad, and now he has begun to promote water aerobics. She said that people are most likely to get hurt when jumping on land, but when moving in water, because of buoyancy, the impact of land movement on joints is reduced, making bones less likely to be injured and deformed. In addition, when people move in the water, the feeling of being blocked is 883 times that in the air, and it takes a lot of physical strength to complete every movement, and this "load-bearing" is much softer than simply tying sandbags. For female compatriots, the rubbing and patting of water on the body is not only a "flexible load", but also can reduce the relaxation and aging of the skin and make the skin smooth and elastic. Moreover, experts' research results prove that 20 minutes of exercise in water is equivalent to 1 hour of exercise on land, and water aerobics has become popular in many countries because of its special fitness effect. Chen Qi said that water fitness does not require participants to be able to swim, because the depth of the training pool is only about 1 m to1.4m. For many friends who are eager to swim but have difficulty getting started, learning water aerobics is a shortcut to learn swimming. Because, the content of water aerobics includes six parts: coordinated dance on land, aerobics on the pool mat, aerobic exercise in water, shaping in water, swimming training and stretching in water. It takes 70 minutes to complete all the movements, almost 60 minutes in the water. Because of the diversity and interest of underwater movements, it is easy to make people interested in water and eliminate "water phobia", so as to gradually master the standardized swimming movements.

Before the trainees start training, the coach will arrange a targeted training plan according to the test results of everyone's psychology, physiology and physical fitness. Generally, they practice two or three times a week, and the training content of each class will be adjusted according to the specific situation. In addition to slimming and body shaping for female friends, there are also training contents for teenagers, the elderly, postpartum rehabilitation and pathological rehabilitation. The fear is that you can't judge the effect until you try it.
