Bathing season is open! And that means it’s time to pack your bags and go on a long-awaited vacation. If you started preparing for the beach season long before it began, then you can truly be proud of your willpower. Well, those who regretfully note the presence of folds on the body can correct the situation without departing from … the water’s edge.

Water aerobics exercises are not only a great way to lose weight while on vacation, but also an excellent prevention of weight gain. If you like not to deny yourself food on vacation, then you can compensate for harmful goodies with simple water aerobics exercises.

How to start a set of water aerobics exercises? It is best to start with a light warm-up, which will prepare your muscles for exercise. Usually warm-up during water aerobics lasts about 10-15 minutes. But you can reduce this time to 5 minutes. Start your warm-up by swimming, after which you can run in place. To properly warm up the muscles, it is good to run, raising your knees as high as possible. After warming up, you can proceed to the exercises themselves.
