Does Water Aerobics Burn More Calories Than Land Exercise?

 First, let’s compare calorie depreciation for land exercise in a 30-minute time period:

• Land walking: 135 calories
• Land jogging: 240

And now, results for water exercise in that same elapsed time frame:

• Water walking: 264 calories
• Water jogging: 340 calories

Why? A water workout uses more energy because of the resistance of the water. Water is 12 times the resistance and 830 times ticker than air. It’s a 3-D workout. A liquid weight room.

"Water workout burns tons of calories but feels like play." Simply treading water vigorously can zap 11 calories a minute, same as a six-mile-per-hour run. "Plus, water's continuous resistance forces you to engage more muscle fibers through a larger range of motion," so you'll firm from every angle.

Fun water workout burns mega calories and tones every trouble spot. 

Aim cardio in the water for between 20 exercise session. Water aerobics has an added benefit: it enables you to burn up calories much more efficiently. Compare the following estimates of calorie consumption for a 30-minute workout: If you add weights to each work out that doubles the calorie burn.

 In the water you mimic sports workouts and exercises  such as running, biking, weight lifting and kick-boxing, without impact or wear and tear on your joints!

Aquatic exercise not only enhances your cardiovascular fitness, but it also can improve your muscular endurance and overall strength. Because water provides buoyancy and support for the body, the likelihood of muscle, bone and joint injuries is significantly reduced when exercise is performed in the water.

Water aerobics are often performed in chest-deep water, this type of exercise appeals to swimmers and non-swimmers alike. If you think that you are ready to take the plunge, read on to learn more about aquatic exercise and how you can use the water as a wonderful fitness tool.
