Monthly Taking an active role in your good health is what Sacred Heart’s Senior Spirit! program is all about. March 2 0 1 5 The Benefits of Water Aerobics T he Water Aerobics Wellness Program at Sacred Heart Rehabilitation Center on Davis Highway in Pensacola is designed to help individuals maintain physical fitness and improve quality of life. Water aerobics is a low-impact exercise, makes exercisers feel lighter, and allows joints to move more freely because the body does not experience the same amount of impact as it does on land. “Even if you find group exercise intimidating, exercising in a pool allows for some discretion since the moves are performed underwater, so the only person who knows you missed a step is you!” says Cathy Watson, Water Aerobics Instructor. Water may also allow people to exercise longer without increased joint or muscle pain due to its warmer temperature. Water-based fitness is ideal for people of all ages with fibromyalgia, arthritis, lymphedema, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, back problems, foot or leg problems and knee injuries, and it’s greatly beneficial for pregnant women. Benefits of water aerobics include: mB uoyancy of water reduces the impact on joints. mW ater-based exercise may help improve cardiovascular health, balance, and overall range of motion. mP ools are heated to 90-92 degrees Fahrenheit; higher water temperature may help soothe pain and aches. mR esistance of water-based exercise is much greater than the resistance of air; this added resistance contributes to muscle development, which helps to boost metabolism. Can’t swim? New to exercise? If you are new to exercise or cannot swim, don’t worry. Water aerobics classes are designed with everyone in mind, including non-swimmers. You don’t even have to get your hair wet! The Water Aerobics Wellness program is located at: Sacred Heart Rehabilitation Center 4406 N. Davis Hwy. Pensacola, FL 32503 Cost: $35 per month. A $5 discount is given to Senior Spirit members and past patients. (Insurance plans do not cover the cost.)
