Aqua HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) uses the resistance of the water to provide a great full-body workout. It focuses on periods of intense exercise with shorter periods of less intense recovery movements. This program will get your heart rate up to improve your cardiovascular endurance, provide you with strength training, and help improve flexibility. The water also reduces the impact of intense exercise on joints. Join us for some high energy fun!
