You don't have to be a competitive swimmer - or even a good swimmer -- to take part in water aerobics, seeing as your feet touch the bottom of the pool the entire time. For those people who can't swim at all, there are life preservers to ensure you stay afloat. Burning as much as 400 calories in an hour, water aerobics are the ideal workout for pregnant women, seniors or anyone suffering from low back pain or arthritis. It's also great for those fitness enthusiasts who worry about becoming overheated while working out. Water workouts are much easier on the body. Check with your gym, the local YMCA or the community pool to find out if they offer water aerobics classes.
