Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill
by Vicky Waite
I much enjoy my readers emailing me some fantastic stuff to review for my department. The Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill System is an email I was sure to save! I called the phone number in the email and a sweet voice answered. I explained how I would love to review the Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill System. She introduced herself as Monique who began telling me all about this treadmill that she has inside her heated indoor pool at her home up on beautiful Jericho Mountain. Just a distance away!
Monique was just as anxious as I to meet. Luckily Bill threw my bathing suit in the backseat before hopping into the driver’s seat. I mean who is thinking about swimming in February? We catch up with Monique who was an attractive woman in her forties with a well-toned body. It was evident she worked out to keep it that way. I told Bill, my kind of woman!
Monique and I throw on our swimsuits and off we go to the pool. Her built-in pool is humongous. Bill could have brought his suit too and did a few laps while Monique showed me her unique underwater treadmill and how to operate this neat piece of machinery. As I go for it, it just feels so weird with it being underwater and all. Did I mention fun?
With The Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill System, you can go barefoot or wear aquatic shoes. I choose to go barefoot. Monique has a mat under her Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill System to keep it stable. Underwater treadmills are great because you use the same muscles you use to run on land, but the weightlessness of water eliminates the pounding on your joints. This is why underwater treadmills are so commonly used for both recovery and rehabilitation. It’s a great way to work out with less pain, more resistance and minimal stress. You are getting a full lower body workout, core conditioning and cardio training all at once.
The Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill System harmoniously blends all the benefits provided by water buoyancy with my natural ability to walk or jog. The machine is letting me work at my own speed. The adjustable resistance is allowing me to have an intense workout. I do not have to deal with any sweating either! I work in some aquatic exercises along with the traditional on land running workouts. I have heard once you have used an aquatic treadmill, you will not want to revert to using a standard machine. After experiencing being on it, I can’t agree more the gains are plentiful, and the best thing is, you will start to feel and see changes quicker than you would from using any other cardio machine.
Another great benefit that I like about the Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill System is that as I am running underwater it is much harder than running on land, thanks to the natural resistance provided. So, the extra exertion will ensure my muscles to work extra harder. Studies have now proven that training underwater is an even better way to help control and maintain your blood pressure, which is great news for the millions of people around the world who suffer from pain and hypertension.
I am enjoying doing a range of different fitness programs on the Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill System as I’m enhancing my strength, muscle mass, and endurance. I want to emphasize how super easy to use. All you need to do is start walking or running on it to get started. No prior experience necessary. You can work at your own pace on muscle strength, endurance, and rehabilitation safely with excellent stability.
If you want to give your lower body an excellent workout and really tighten up your muscles, then this machine is going to speed up the process dramatically. Low impact cardio is key for those who are concerned about causing themselves unnecessary strain. By training when you are chest deep in water, you will reduce your overall body weight to a fifth of what it usually is, meaning there will be less weight for your joints to bear.
Low impact workouts are also ideal for the elderly or ill or needing care. The Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill System is a great cross training option whether you’re injured or not. Running underwater can strengthen your muscles and promote healing from an injury. For people with chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, activities like walking on the Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill System can cure or significantly reduce pain. The Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill System is the source of the treadmills healing powers. Besides reducing swelling, it also relaxes joints, improves strength, and boosts flexibility.
The Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill System comes with a 40’ hose assembly at no additional cost. The hose runs from the Aqua Gaiter Underwater Treadmill System in the pool, to the powerpack unit that runs the treadmill. It comes with a nice large digital wall display showing speed, time, and distance. It is costly if bought for personal use, but you can always go to a health fitness center, or a verified rehabilitation center where you can exercise on a underwater treadmill. Great for the heart and body. Good reason to swim your heart out! For more information visit www.aquagaiter.com and as always consult your physician before beginning.
