What Will WATERinMOTION® Platinum Do For Me?

 

This particular format offers the benefit of a healthy and social workout without the pull that gravity plays on the body.

• Retains all the general health benefits of regular exercise: lose weight, improved mobility, heart health, reduced risk of chronic illness, enhanced energy levels, improved posture, increased flexibility, and more!
• Relieves pressure from the spine and joints facilitating exercise for unique populations.
• Reduces impact and creates less soreness than land-based exercise.
• Requires little or no prior experience for participants to feel comfortable and have a great workout experience.
• Focuses on balance and directional changes.
• Incorporates cognitive challenges because as the body ages so does the mind.
• Focuses on fast twitch muscle fibers because as we age those muscle fibers deteriorate at a much faster rate than our slow twitch fibers.
• Focuses on activities of daily living (ADLs) to make the lives of participants easier on a daily basis.
