WHY USE WEIGHTED BANDS IN THE WATER?
Boost your Aquafitness sessions by increasing your muscle strength with weight bands!
Weighted bands allow you to work on your muscle strength and increase the resistance of your movements by adding weight around your ankles or wrists. Ideal for static exercises, they make your muscles work harder for a more energetic and dynamic workout.
WHY WORK ON TONING YOUR MUSCLES?
Muscle toning helps to rebalance your figure and firm up all parts of your body (stomach, buttocks, arms, chest). Targeted toning exercises help your body stay or get back into shape.Toning and strength training are also very good exercises to enhance your physical fitness in addition to your sports activity. Use them to speed up your progress and boost your performance.
ADVICE ON USE
