“Exercise in the water, be fit - again - on land“

Post-natal Aquatic Fitness

Most women, who have already learned to appreciate the positive properties of water during their pregnancy, now want to support the recovery of their body in the water. The same advantages the water offers during pregnancy also apply to recovery. In nearly complete absence of gravity the exercises are much easier for the body, but due to the water's properties - in particular the water resistance - much more efficient.

You and your body will recover to the former shape by means of strengthening, endurance and mobility exercises. Tightening of the connective tissue and positive influence on pregnancy after-effects (e.g. pelvic floor weakness, organ descent) are the further intentions of this course.

With the use of aqua gloves, pool noodles, aqua dumbbells, aqua disc (the new training device in the aqua fitness scene) as well as music, Post-natal Aquatic Fitness is very diversified and simply fun.

Prerequisite for the start of this course is the termination of childbed.
