by a buoyancy belt for the duration of the workout. Deep water fitness is great for
knees, hips and back since there is no impact on these joints. It is also a very core
driven workout because to remain upright you will engage the core throughout
the workout from warmup to cool down! Buoyancy belts are available for free by
the Park District.
