Helpful Hints:
- If you participate in a water walking, water aerobics class or swim for exercise you may want to make sure the water is warm rather than cold. A study from the University of Florida found that people who exercise in cold water may eat more after the exercise session is over. This increase in appetite and subsequent food intake may negate the calorie burning benefits of exercise. The cold water may increase the metabolism temporarily fooling the body into thinking it needs more food. Diabetics or persons on a weight loss program must take specials note of this.
- Water exercise is excellent for overweight people as the buoyancy of the water takes strain off the joints making exercise easier and more effective. The ideal water temperature appears to be about 90 degrees Fahrenheit. As with any exercise program, water aerobics and swimming will be more effective if combined with a well balanced healthy diet.
- ALWAYS GET YOUR MEDICAL DOCTOR’S APPROVAL BEFORE BEGINNING ANY FITNESS PROGRAM OR ACTIVITY.
- REMEMBER – It is much better to do too little – than – to do too much!
