 Aquabiking
facebook.com/TamarindoAquaBiking  •  TamarindoAquaBiking
quabiking, it is simply a variant of the aquaerobics practised with a "bike" (exercise bike, as we find in all the fitness) but in the water. And that changes everything. The cardiovascular virtues are always there, but the resistance of the water has for consequence a different effort, a massage in the multiple virtues: the heart beats less fast 10 % than in the air and fats are burned first and foremost. Let us add to it the constant massage due to the movement of the water, and we obtain a destructive action against the cellulite and its formidable visible part, the orange peel.
It is also a rejuvenation treatment for the heavy legs. The muscles of calfs, thighs, glutei, up to abs and in the vertebral column, are requested well
A maximum of results for a minimum of effort
