Water Aerobics
The GSTT had a second aerobics session for those who need physical health. That gives a good cardiovascular workout to improve heart health. It strengthens muscles and improves their tone as you move against water resistance. It improves flexibility with less risk of muscle and joint injuries in the water. It also gives great stress relief as water massages and cools you, which gives you a feeling of weightlessness and a sense of well-being.
