Fitness/Yoga Aquadio

One of the benefits of exercising in water is that it is pleasurable and comfortable compared to other forms of exercise, as it puts less pressure on your joints due to gravity being less of a factor. Aqua Floatfit, which started in the UK in 2015, is an aquatic exercise in which individuals perform various movements on a mat floating on water. When aquatic exercise was still uncommon in Korea, Aquadio became a pioneer in Asia as well as Korea, offering the very first aqua floatfit classes in the country. CEO Young-eun Lee, who had been teaching Aquatic Pilates, accidentally came across a British Aquatic Floatfit video one day, and shortly thereafter was heading to the UK to learn more. After earning her aquatic floatfit instructor certification, she developed a highly effective curriculum for posture correction and calorie consumption using aqua mats in Korea. She stresses that what is really crucial in aquatic exercise is breathing rather than physical balance, and that all exercise begins with breathing the right way. This is due to the fact that the body will easily become fatigued if one does not breathe properly, as it is not only difficult to make correct movements but also oxygen is not supplied sufficiently. Making steps while regularly breathing on water is beneficial to the entire body, as it helps improve flexibility, muscle strength, agility, and reflexes, and strengthens the core without putting much of a burden on the joints.
