The resistance created by cycling underwater is twelve times greater than cycling on land, increasing blood flow and improving your cardiovascular endurance. The Hydrorider is designed to grow with you. With its 4 paddle flywheel, the faster you pedal, the more resistance you create, ensuring that you can work-out to your level and grow over time in class. At the same time, the water relaxes muscle tension, helping to prevent injuries or muscle pain normally associated with an intense work-out. Plus, it keeps you refreshed. With the addition of exercises that target your arms and chest, it’s a great body workout.
Then water cycling is an ideal way to start to improve your fitness. In our classes, everyone is able to work to their own fitness capabilities. Its low impact nature lets you ease into a new fitness routine with very little in the way of ‘next day’ sore muscles.
Water cycling is a great exercise for people with injuries or health conditions. The water allows you to challenge yourself but also supports your body, It’s very low impact on joints and muscles. Always check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.

Chances are, you already have all the right gear. Just wear swimmers or whatever you feel comfortable wearing in the pool (chafing is not an issue, BTW). A water bottle, sunscreen and a hat are recommended.
Footwear is mandatory for the cage pedals on the aquabikes used in class. Reef water shoes are highly recommended as they allow water to drain away. Ordinary sneakers absorb water and add weight that can cause calf pain.
Burn up to 800Kcal an hour, while improving your cardio endurance and flexibility.
