• Why exercise on the H2OGym Underwater Treadmill?
  There may be several reasons for a workout on an Underwater Treadmill
  - For people not able to exercise on a land-based treadmill for many reasons, they will be able to burn the same or more calories when walking on an underwater treadmill at the same pace as walking on a land-based treadmill
  - Track coaches are beginning to require their track athletes to workout in the pool at least twice a week for 2 reasons - fewer injuries (esp. stress fractures) and exercise with increased resistance for potentially greater speed and endurance
  - Marathon runners and ultra marathon runners who want more "mileage" with less chance of injury will be able to run and increase the load
• Benefits of Aquatic Therapy:
  - Water buoyancy helps to protect recuperating knees/ankles/hips
  - Great for overweight individuals looking for exercise, but unable to walk far enough out of the water to effectively burn calories while in the water, these individuals can walk the distance and burn the calories to put themselves on track for a healthier life
  - Gait training is much simpler with fast results in the water
  - Aquatic exercise reduces pain and increases flexibility
  - Water exercise supports and massages the body
  - Kidneys become more efficient with warm water exercise
  - All of the benefits of land exercise-without feeling the sweat
  - Water Exercise strengthens lung inspiratory musculature
  - Aquatic Exercise helps reduce blood pressure, stress and risk of injury
  - Warm water exercise reduces Blood Pressure
  - Warm water exercise reduces stress and autonomic arousal
  - Warm water exercise may increase muscular blood flow by 250%
  - Aquatic exercise may be one of the best therapies for spine injuries, MS, Cerebral Palsy, Fibromyalgia and many more
