Aqua aerobics has proven benefits for those with a neurological condition. Because the water’s buoyancy supports 60 percent to 90 percent of body weight, exercising in the water is easier and increases range of motion and balance. In addition, the water temperature has a natural cooling effect, which makes for an overall pleasant mental and physical experience.
