Kanuhura

Maldives.net.mv – Aquagym is big, it’s happening. It is fun to do and suitable for all ages. It is also available as one of the many exercise classes at many top hotels around the globe.

However, if you want to practice Aqua Gym in the Maldives, there’s one clear winner : The Kanuhura island resort!

So whether you are 27 or 77 this could be the perfect scenario for you : an exercise program that will leave you in tip-top condition.

Keeping fit while on holiday provides an ideal way to start your day. If you want to feel fit and healthy on your holiday in the Maldives, Hotel Kanuhura provides Aqua Gym classes in the main swimming pool with views overlooking the Indian Ocean.

What’s so good about Aqua Gym ?

Aquagym is becoming increasingly popular and is the preferred choice of exercise for guests. Your body’s mass is reduced in water and therefore there is less stress on the joints and few muscular problems. It is practiced in pleasant surroundings and accompanied by catchy rhythms. Aqua Gym gets you into the water and among other people. That can only be a good thing.

There are more benefits too. When you are in the water no one can see if you mess up the moves a little so there’s no pressure to perform. Plus you can go at a pace that suits you.

A workout that keeps you cool

Another benefit is the cooling effect of water on the system. The average temperature in the pool will force the body to burn calories while remaining cool and comfortable, with noticeably less sweat.

Aqua Gym is not only good for cardio-vascular and muscular exercise. It is also beneficial to your lymphatic and internal organs. This explains why you feel so refreshed after working out in the water. Not only that, Aqua Gym will put you in the perfect frame of mind for the rest of your day.

There are plenty of fitness exercises available to try at the Kanuhura resort in the Maldives, ranging from yoga to tennis, volleyball to snorkelling, but one of the best by far is Aqua Gym. It is a total workout experience that won’t leave you hot and bothered.
