HFE515 Aquacize
Aquacize is a combination of
aerobics, strength training, toning,
flexibility, and cardio routines
using the resistance of the water
for physical improvement and the
buoyancy of the water to alleviate
strain on muscles, bones, and
joints. The ability to swim is not a
requirement, and we do not put our
faces in the water. The co-instructors
lead exercises while in the water, and
a lifeguard watches over the class
from poolside. Water temperature is
around 80 degrees.
Carole Eisen and Gladys Spiak are
long-time OLLI members and have
been participating in Aquacize for
years.

to class. Recommended book: The
Book of Symbols (ISBN 3836514486).
