Exercises performed in warm water (hydrotherapy) are useful because body weight is supported and the movements performed in water lead to increased muscle strength and endurance.
Benefits of exercising in water
A Japanese study published in 2002 showed that the exercises performed in water are very beneficial. The study involved women aged between 60 and 75 years, divided into two groups. One group performed exercises in water for 12 weeks. Among the benefits found in the study are:
* Improves muscle strength;
* Improve mood and increase quality of sleep;
* Improves breathing;
* Increase flexibility;
* It helps you lose excess fat;
* Increase agility.
Exercise programs. There are many exercise programs in which you can choose the right one for you, among which are:
* Hydrotherapy – a form of exercise therapy offered by a physiotherapist. Courses can be conducted with a team or only with the patient. Water for hydrotherapy sessions is usually at a temperature of about 34 degrees C;
* Exercise trails – some centers offer exercise programs for people suffering from certain diseases or who are not in a good shape;
* Aqua-aerobics exercises – aqua-aerobics exercises are more vigorous than those of hydrotherapy, water is usually heated to about 28 degrees C.
Before you do exercises:
* Discuss with your doctor before starting any exercise program. For example, it may recommend to you to avoid certain movements if you had a surgery;
* Contact several fitness centers and recreation and learn what water exercise programs can offer;
* Before you enroll, make sure they are appropriate for your physical condition.
Tips for your safety. Here are some tips that may be useful:
* A good method before training is to swim or go by water, of course, under the supervision of instructor;
* It takes time for you to get in shape, so do not spend more than 20 minutes for the first session of exercise;
* If you experience dizziness or any sign of discomfort, leave the water immediately;
* Be careful when you move on wet surfaces, the edge of the pool, to not slip;
* Do not try to do too much from the beginning. If you feel exhausted, stop;
* If certain movements cause pain or discomfort, give them up;
* Remember to not only consume enough water during training but also after;
* Give yourself enough time to rest, once you get home;
* If your joints and muscles hurt after workout, be more gentle with your body the next session.

Your own Insurance Policy against Ankle Sprains
It doesn’t matter how steady you are on your feet or how careful you are; it doesn’t matter whether you are practically on your feet pounding the pavement three hours a day, or that you run 10 minutes every Sunday if you feel especially guilty about neglecting your health. The law of averages says that an ankle sprain will knock you on your behind at least once in your life. It will – unless you do something about it.
