I got certified to teach Aqua Zumba about 18 months ago. I've been teaching about once a week ever since.
Check out this video for a better idea of what Aqua Zumba actually is:
Aqua Zumba, or water-based fitness in general is a great option for people who are severely overweight or have bad joints. There is less gravity in the water, so it is not as hard on your joints to move around in a pool.
But it's still a great workout (if you do it correctly). If you are completely inactive and have a daunting amount of weight to lose to get to a healthy level, Aqua Zumba is a great way to start moving.
But, it's not for everyone. In fact, it's my least favorite class to teach at the Rec because we don't have a huge clientele for water-based classes. Let's be honest...not very many college students have time to change clothes and get into the pool just for their workouts. Plus, most college-aged people are looking for a more intense workout.
It's worth a try for everyone, though. Even if it's not your favorite workout, it's a whole lot of fun! Bring a friend and jump on in!
