Extra Info
Carmel has been teaching Aqua classes for over thirty years. Primarily her interest is in AnteNatal groups but she realised that the same principles are totally applicable to those with Lipoedema & Lymphoedema.
Exercise alone will benefit with keeping up fitness, strength and confidence.
The pluses of aquarobics include the effect of the hydrostatic pressure of the water with helping to reduce swelling, as well as the aerobic activity increasing blood flow and lymph return. Posture and strength are also important.
Intensity, pace and volume of all exercise is set according to your ability and fitness level, according to your ability. It is important to keep good form, core stability and even breathing.
It is non-impact and involves ranges of motion which help to free up many previously tight muscles.
Unlike a land based class, participants are not exposed to onlookers as the water can be a wonderful disguise and boost confidence to participate.
The cooling effect of the water is always beneficial so participants won’t overheat whilst exercising in the water.
Come along and have some fun, make new friends and network over a free hot drink at a local café after class.
