Aquacise

“BodySensei’s Aquacise makes hard work seem like fun in the sun!”

Exercise in the water or ‘Aquacise’ is a great workout for any age, shape or fitness level.  If you don’t like sweaty gyms and want to make the most of your outdoor exercise on this lovely island – come try this instead of walking, running or just swimming.

Aquacise used to be associated with the elderly or physiotherapy only but now it is increasing in popularity all over the world and has become a social, music filled, alternative experience for many.  From sportsmen and women, to physically challenged; from overweight to underweight; young or elderly – Aquacise can help you.

Benefit: Low impact exercises and water resistance helps your posture, joints, recovery from injuries and tones all of your muscle groups. This is a type of hydrotherapy that increases circulation and respiration with cardiovascular benefits.

Some More Benefits:

• Total body workout while easy on your joints – very low impact
• Cardiovascular/respiratory improvement with high-energy water walking, swimming or aerobic movements
• Tones and builds muscles using water resistance against your movements
• Improves balance, posture, coordination and water confidence

TESTIMONIALS

“Is it a bird, is it a plane?  No – it’s superman Andy Grant!  Wow – does he have springs beneath his feet?  I don’t think I’ve seen so much energy packaged into one person!  I was lucky enough to have 2 aqua-aerobic classes with Andy – both highly enjoyable – though I’m not sure I managed to keep up all the time . . . The 2nd class ended 40 mins before I had to depart the Resort – but no way was I going to miss it.  I arrived with an ankle injury that prevented me from participating in a number of phyiscal activities over the last two years – I’ve now found a class that I’ll be able to continue with on my return to the UK and still have many of Andy’s inspirational and motivational words rining in my ears to ensure I keep it up.”  La Source guest

“For someone like me who never took an Aqua-Aerobics class in her life, I can’t tell you how much fun I had thanks to Andy, our enthusiastic instructor and former heavy-weight boxer, who made sure we all kept up with that disco-beat in the pool.”
