So, I have been doing water arobics since January, 3 times a week, one hour each time and I feel great, but I wonder if its a good exercise for weight loss. I keep thinking about all the water mammals in the ocean and not one of them inspires me with visions of thinness. Whales, dolphins, walrus, seals, walrus, walrus.

Water Aerobics Workout

High Resistance Activity

You don’t need to know how to swim to try water aerobics. As long as you are comfortable in water up to your chest, this is a suitable exercise to burn calories. Water aerobics is easy on the joints and high in resistance because moving our limbs through water is 12 times harder than out of water. Because of the reduced impact in water, moves can be executed that you might not be able to do out of water.

How Many Calories Does Water Aerobics Burn?

30 minutes of water aerobic exercise burns about 200-250 calories. [This is based on a 150-pound woman. If you weigh more, you’ll burn extra calories; if you weigh less, you’ll burn fewer calories.]

just remember those sea mamals are using that fat to keep warm as they live in cold water. Now if you provided them with a warm place to live I'm sure they would evolve to have less body fat too.
