Regardless of your fitness goals, Aquabilt can play an important role.  Key advantages of low impact, high impact aquatic exercise include: 

Gain:  Build endurance, strength and speed.

Maintain:  Burn calories faster, tone muscles and increase joint flexibility with water resistance.

Preserve:  Reduce wear and tear on joints with low impact exercise, allowing more frequent and intense training.

Heal:  Shorten rehab and reduce discomfort by performing movements in water. 

Using an Aquabilt Pool Treadmill requires double the muscle effort and achieves double the strength-building benefit because it engages the quadricep muscles (front thigh), hip flexors, gluteal, hamstring and calf muscles more effectively than a motorized treadmill.  This increases calories burned, builds more balanced strength, and reduces the time required to achieve these greater benefits. 

Low impact due to buoyancy also reduces the chance of injury and discomfort from what would be a very high impact workout on land.

The Aquabilt Pool Treadmill has no internal power source.  THE POWER IS YOU! The user controls the effort across different speeds simulating movements like strolling, power-walking, hill-climbing, speed work and more...all in a safe low impact enviroment. 

The key difference is the reduction of time needed to obtain an equivalent benefit.  Due to the resistance provided by the water surrounding the body (12x great than air), the effort and calories expended per minute are significantly greater than using a traditional land treadmill.
