Fitness Training in Water With the AQUA FITNESS MAT
Fitness training in water allows participants to exercise at their own level of intensity and helps decrease exercise heart rates. Buoyancy also reduces the impact on joints, making it ideal for populations who have difficulty load bearing on land.
A soft, nonabsorbent top surface is easy to clean and dries quickly. The foam is resilient and didn’t dent when we AQUA FITNESS MAT placed heavy objects like weights on it.
Stability
With the popularity of water yoga and fitness paddling, aquatic centers have started adding floating mats to their workout offerings. These mats are designed to float on the water challenging users to use their core strength to balance and perform yoga, pilates and even some HIIT exercises. The floating mats are ideal for gyms, schools and resorts who want to add a fun and innovative workout to their class offering.
One of the leading manufacturers in this category is BOGA FitMat which offers the highest stability, durability and a small footprint (8ft x 35 iches). This amazing floating exercise platform can handle multiple classes per day and has built in resistance, like a bungee, that minimizes tugging between boards. It also features a uniquely designed tethering cord that easily connects the boards together and can be adjusted to vary the intensity of each class.
Another great option is the Hydrorider FOW (Fitness on Water) fitness mat. This floating ridged mat allows users to move in and out of the water, leveraging the instability of the water to improve stabilizing muscles and core.
