    Aqua-Fit<\/strong>
    \nAqua-Fit is a combination of running in the water (deep water running) and water gymnastics in deep water. Both the untrained and the competitive athlete move at a slow-motion pace with the help of a special neoprene buoyancy aid, the wet vest, floating in the pool or in open water, thereby promoting all fitness factors. With easy-to-learn exercises and step forms, the most important muscle groups can be specifically strengthened against the water resistance and an efficient cardiovascular workout can be completed.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n

Aqua-Fit has a firm place in rehabilitation and prevention, whether in the form of a medical certificate or physiotherapy work that can be continued in a course.<\/p>\n
