核心提示：室内游泳池厂家带来办公室健身新潮流 —— 水中运动让您在工作之余享受健康生活！
站在齐腰深的水中，在音乐的伴奏下结合不同的身体动作和舞蹈步伐来锻炼和放松全身，就好像在水中做游戏一样——水中健身操已经成为时尚女性夏日的健身首选课。
记者在近日到北京采访了澳大利亚籍水中健身操教练凯伦·弗莱明(KarenFleming），在您动身准备和水做游戏之前，不妨先来听一堂由这位资深教练所讲的水中操预习课！
据弗莱明教练介绍，水中健身操的全称是水中有氧健身操（aquaticaerobics），还能听到一些别的叫法，比如水中健美操、水中有氧操和柔水操等，其实基本都是一个意思，训练的内容也大同小异。
water中的训练方式
water中的训练方式包括伸展运动、力量塑形、放松康复等多种形式。一般一节water课程为45分钟，课程主要包括：伸展运动、力量塑形、放松康复等各项活动。Fr Fleming指出，一节water课程内容丰富，有池边垫上操作、water中的跑步走路等，有些fitness俱乐部还开设了water搏击瑜珈产后形体康复等多样化活动，一节课里丰富多彩，让人感受到乐趣与挑战。
比如，当你跟着教练在music伴奏下，在pool进行跑步跳跃或其他类似运动时，你利用到了water阻力浮力传热性进行全身上下耗氧运动，这是一种既有效地分解身体热量又安全舒适的一种方式。
compared with swimming
当记者询问关于这个exercise效果是否与swimming相比有什么不同时，Fr Fleming很直接回答说：“Absolutely!”她说Water-based exercise training intensity is lower than that of swimming by 20% to 30%, and the effects of water aerobics are more pronounced.
由于它是一个热胀冷缩合并精神放松的一种综合形式，所以它不仅可以塑造身体，还可以护肤缓解压力，而且对于受过伤的人来说，它还是一种有效的心理恢复手段。此外，它能够全面激活肌肉群，这些效果都难以通过普通游泳达到。
safety in water practice
据Fr Fleming解释，Water-based exercises are very safe and easy to perform, as the buoyancy of the water reduces the impact on joints. As long as you do a proper warm-up before class, there will be no injuries. Beginners who don't know how to swim can also participate, as most pool depths for Water-based exercises range from 1.2 meters to 1.4 meters, allowing both feet to touch the bottom.
Pool temperature matters
The ideal pool temperature for Water-based exercise should be between 27°C and 29°C; however, some fitness clubs in Beijing have pools at temperatures ranging from 24°C to 26°C.
This cooler water may cause discomfort when first entering but has a strong stimulating effect on nerves, helping alleviate stress caused by pressure. However, if you still feel uncomfortable after two minutes in the pool or find it difficult to adjust, it's recommended that you step out of the pool for a few minutes before returning for further preparation activities until your body is fully warmed up.
Time duration frequency three notes
According to Fr Fleming's advice:
Duration: Optimal time spent exercising should be between thirty minutes and forty-five minutes.
Intensity: Choose an appropriate level based on personal physical condition.
Frequency: Practice twice a week with intervals of three days between sessions.
It's also beneficial to incorporate yoga or dumbbells into your routine for better results.
Office workers need this too!
As Fr Fleming explained during her interview with us,
The unique properties of water - buoyancy transmission heat flow - make it perfect for shaping bodies while maintaining posture and spinal alignment.
This makes Water-based exercises particularly suitable for office workers who spend extended periods sitting at desks due their sedentary nature.
Furthermore,
the flexibility offered by these movements allows people from all walks life including seniors men women children young old alike! So come join us today!
