Comments

"I thought aquajogging was good for me, because there was a big range of movements and there was a lot of choice." Janine.

"Aquajogging is good because you can work at your own pace and focus on the muscles you need to strengthen. You are also conscious of your posture, as you don't want to be a turtle with your shoulders not over your hips." Judith.

"In the water I've got more freedom of movement, particularly for my upper body." Janice.
