New aquatic formats are arising into the exercise world, with ideas such as: [aqua cycling](/wiki/Aqua_cycling "Aqua cycling") and water pole dancing. Water aerobics is beneficial to a multitude of participants because the density of the water allows easy mobility for those with arthritis, obesity, and other conditions. Further, it is an effective way for people of all ages to incorporate aerobics and muscle\-strengthening into their weekly exercise schedule. Most classes last for 45–55 minutes. People do not even have to be strong swimmers to participate in water aerobics.

The performance of movement while suspended in water where the feet cannot touch the bottom surface, resulting in a non\-impact, high\-resistant, total body exercise workout, is known as **deep water aerobics**. Benefits of this method include less stress on the back, hips, knees and ankles.


Are there any risks associated with doing aqua cycling?
