The most indispensable thing for fitness is this

Nowadays, there are more and more diverse ways to shape your body, and now a new type of exercise, water aerobics, has emerged. If you want to know its magical power, you must first read this introduction!

*What is aerobic exercise?

The so-called aerobic means "living in oxygen" or "using oxygen". Simply put, aerobic exercise is the exercise in which muscle cells use aerobic energy.

The human body has three energy systems that can provide the energy needed for cell activities: the first is the ATP-PC system, the second is the lactic acid energy system, and the third is the aerobic energy system. Among them, the aerobic energy system produces the most energy and lasts the longest by oxidizing glucose in the body.

*Where did aerobic exercise originate?

Aerobic exercise originated in the United States in 1986. It was originally designed for training astronauts. It means "a physical conditioning method that uses exercise to increase oxygen consumption and thus promote blood circulation function."

*What are the benefits of aerobic exercise?

Through this kind of muscle movement, our cardiopulmonary circulatory system can continue to function in a more intense manner. Just as weak muscles become stronger after training, our cardiopulmonary circulatory system will increase the efficiency of oxygen carrying in order to provide enough oxygen to the exercising cells, thus improving our cardiopulmonary function.

*What kind of exercise is considered aerobic exercise?

Aerobic exercise incorporates the following characteristics:

1. Long-term exercise-aerobic exercise should be able to last 20 to 60 minutes.

2. It is a whole-body large muscle activity - aerobic exercise should use the large muscles of almost the whole body (not less than 1/6).

3. Stability - aerobic exercise should be maintained at a certain intensity.

4. Rhythmic - rhythmic body movements.

*What is oxygen in water?

Water aerobics uses the resistance created by water to increase the intensity of exercise, and the buoyancy of water to avoid sports injuries caused by excessive impact. It uses the choreography principles of aerobic dance and the rhythm of music to perform aerobic exercise in water to achieve the effect of fitness and body shaping.

* Suitable age groups for water aerobics

The general public, children, the elderly, people undergoing rehabilitation, pregnant women, overweight people and children whose height exceeds the water level can all participate in water aerobics.

Aquatic aerobics looks simple, but it is quite effective and stimulating, and even people who can't swim can try it. Since the resistance in water is 12 to 14 times that in the air, there is no gravity in the water. Although the muscles will be forced to increase the force in all directions, there will be no pressure or discomfort. Due to the buoyancy factor, the body weight will be reduced by about 90%. Therefore, no matter how intense the movements are, they will be easier and simpler than on land.

According to research, the same aerobic exercise steps can burn more fat in water than in the gym, which is more significant and easier.

Here are some simple water aerobics exercises:

Arm slimming exercise: raise your arms forward with your palms facing down into a cup shape, and move your arms downward in a circle (like the arm skiing posture when swimming). Remember to "scoop" your palms full of water during each slide for it to be effective.

Slim belly and slim butt: Hold the edge of the swimming pool with your hands wider than shoulder width, keep your shoulders still, and jump your feet left and right. The trick is to use only the strength below the waist, and to keep your head up, chest out, and stomach in. Only in this way can you create an enviable slender waist.

Sculpt your legs: Open your arms and grab the edge of the swimming pool behind you. Keep your back against the edge of the pool and let your legs float up. Cross your legs up and down. In the long run, this can make the fat on the inside of the legs disappear without a trace.
