The benefits of working out with water

The benefits of working out with water

'Working out' and 'water' are two terms that you can easily find on the internet. But always with the word 'in' in between. Working out in water is good for your muscles without putting too much strain on the body. But did you know that you can also do a workout with water? That is: without getting wet. Working out with water can be done with an aqua bag, a Bulgarian aqua bag or an aqua punching bag, to name a few examples.

Working out with water means working out with instability. Water has a certain slowness of movement, which makes working out with water more difficult than exercising with a relatively stable filling such as sand. Due to the unpredictability of the moving liquid, working out with water is like a balancing act on a tightrope. And that is great for training many different muscle groups in your body. In short, you use an 'unexpected force'.

Wheter you train with an aqua bag, Bulgarian aqua bag or an aqua punching bag, you can influence the degree of instability yourself and thus the intensity of the workout. The less water you put in the bag, the easier the water can move and the more difficult the workout will be. This is ideal for adjusting the intensity of the exercise, allowing you to achieve many different workout goals, whether you are a beginner or advanced.
