The Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care recommends daily physical activity, particularly for the over 40's, to reduce risk of the most common health ailments.

The Aqua GymBike is ideal for meeting this requirement, and can be used in almost any indoor, outdoor and rehabilitation swimming pool or rock pool. To counter cool water or bad weather conditions, thin comfortable neoprene shorts with a T-shirt or shorty can be worn, enabling all year-round exercising.

The Aqua GymBike will not only provide a new activity for pool owners to be enjoyed by the whole family, but is likely to extend the season for pool use while providing a rewarding yet gentle way to work out in water.

To use the Aqua GymBike, the user sits astride the saddle or on the saddle sideways, holding firmly the floaters to aid stability and increase core work. They can then cycle imaginary pedals or exercise with their legs as shown in our videos. The rate of pedalling or repetition is up to the user, depending upon the intensity of exercise they want to undertake. Adding a rowing movement with the arms will increase the heart rate enough to reach cardio-respiratory endurance training levels.

A wide range of exercises can be performed on the Aqua GymBike to target specific parts of the body like core, upper body and lower body.
