Looking fora form of easy, fun, low-impact exercise, that really works? Look no further, aquagym is for you!

Everyone can do these gentle exercise, whether they are pregnant, young or old - and you don't have to be sporty! It's a great way to tone up, without the stress on your joints involved in aerobics and running, you should be able to see results after just 10 short sessions, of a quarter of an hour each.

The main benefits of aquagym:
- Improved strength due to resistance from the water.
- Perfect for tummies, as the abs are working all the time in the water.
- Improved muscle tone in areas which are hard to target.
- The no-sweat option for those who prefer gentle exercise - although it doesn't feel like your body is working, it certainly is!
- Better oxygenation of muscles, thanks to improved circulation.
- No post-workout aches, so a better night's sleep afterwards!
- The massaging effect of the water helps to eliminate fat and burn calories.
- Support from the water reduces pressure on the back and joints.
- A safe, effective form of exercise, make sure you stick to the shallow end though!
