“Inside every older person is a young person — wondering what the heck happened.” Cora Harvey Armstrong
Water is 800 times more dense than air. That means movements performed at an average speed in water meet with approximately 12 to 15 times as much resistance as similar movements performed in air. What’s more, the harder you push in the water, the more the workout becomes intensified. Exercising in warm water is an exercise bargain—it helps you be a better you, stronger, healthier, and happier, feel the love.
Beginning June 10th and running through the summer, Linda Bennett, Fitness Director of the SCV Senior Center, will run a Tuesday/Thursday session of Aqua Fitness at the Bouquet Canyon Seniors apartment complex, 26705 Bouquet Canyon Road. Water walking, cardio, strength, and stretching will be done throughout the class. Warm-up begins at 8:30 a.m. The Active class begins at 8:45 a.m.; Slower class will be added if necessary from 10 to 10:30 a.m., on the same days.
Students are asked to bring a towel, aqua shoes, sunscreen, and bottled water. The cost is $6/class for those over 60, and $7/class for those under 60. Classes will run through September.
