The term Aquagym comes from  Latin  and mixes the terms «water» and «gymnastics», which quite accurately define the type of sport it encompasses. This modality is a variant of  aerobics  that is carried out in an aquatic environment, usually in a  swimming pool , and that, thanks to its development in the water, allows the effects of exercise to be duplicated. Aquagym anglicism is also known as  aquatic fitness  or  aquatic gymnastics .

Its use and demand have increased notably in recent years, not only because of the benefits to maintain and improve the figure, but also because of its health advantages.

Aquagym is a form of  aquatic fitness  with numerous exercises focused on  muscle toning . Aquagym adapts the physical work that is done on land to the aquatic environment, with the advantage of being weightless. It is usually carried out in shallow pools (from 1.20 to 1.50 m). The most suitable temperature should be between 28 °C and 31 °C.

With aquagym the general physical condition is improved and it allows a better recovery from injuries, which is why it is indicated for people in rehabilitation processes. Different muscle groups are worked in a specific way and exercises of the upper, middle (obliques and abdominals) and lower body are alternated.

In  aqua aerobics , with music the  pulsations are controlled  making the organism activate or relax. Thanks to the rhythms, it is easier to carry out the exercises appropriate to the music for them and creating   fun choreographies .

Nordic Walking consists of walking with poles specially designed for the development of this physical activity, with the aim of optimizing the physical effort made in the biomechanical movement of our body when walking. This is achieved thanks to the involvement of the upper body (arms, shoulders, back) that is added to the legs and hips, increasing the efficiency of movement, increasing speed and covering more kilometers per hour than in normal conditions, or else, being less fatigued in the same distance traveled since the effort is more distributed, doing it in different muscle groups.

It offers us a simple, natural and very effective way to improve our own physical condition and tone our muscles, regardless of the age, gender and physical preparation of the practitioner. If the proposed technique is used correctly, the physical work falls on most of the body’s muscles, without excessively loading the joints, with all the benefits that it represents to complete a good workout.

This presents us with a wide panorama of physical activity suitable for all people, from therapeutic walking and aerobic training to specific exercises for athletes and competition.

Nordic Walking is definitely a safe, natural, dynamic, efficient and adaptable physical activity for everyone, involving the whole body in a symmetrical and balanced way.
