1 All ages can benefit from Aqua Dynamics Continued from preceeding page control and build lung power, swimmers use a technique termed "bobbing." In this exercise, swimmers "bob" in and out of the water holding their breath and releasing it while performing an exer­ cise. It's a demanding workout and perfect for slimming those problem areas such as the waist, hips, and thighs. People of all ages can practice Aqua Dynamics because you only perform each drill at your own exercise tolerance level. According to Casey Conrad, executive director of the Presi­ dent's Council on Physical Fitness & Sports, "A person always works at his or her own exercise tolerance level which is the level at which you feel com­ fortable and are not breathless or fatigued." Conrad adds that you can do things in the water that you can't on land because "the water is kind to you, cushioning your body as you exercise and swim." Besides conditioning, doctors agree that swimming is one of the best exer­ cises for cardiovascular improvement. This is important because heart disease is the number one killer of Americans today. Swimming, with its rhythmic quality, helps combat coronary artery disease. It increases th flow of blood to the muscles making the heart and lungs work harder. Dr. David Johnson, an instructor in clinical orthopedics at Georgetown University Hospital and a medical con­ sultant for the President's Council on Physical Fitness & Sports, said: "Swim­ ming is a very safe sport. You're in a weightless environment so you're not going to injure yourself while you exer­ cise. Plus you're exercising more of your body than any other sport and get­ ting the same cardiovascular benefit as with aerobics." Overall, Aqua Dynamics is one of the best body conditioning programs available for all age groups. Check with your doctor before you begin any water exercise program to determine your current fitness level. Then, join the millions already swim­ ming for health. Condition your body with the Aqua Dynamics program to help you lose weight, tone muscles, build strength and improve your cardio­ respiratory system.
