Why Aquabilt

Unlike land-based treadmills, Aquabilt is powered entirely by the user; therefore, you can expend as much or as little effort desired and still sustain maximum workout benefits. Speed is varied by slowing down to a leisurely stroll or by speeding up to a running or jogging tempo, which provides higher resistance for a serious workout.

Exercising on an Aquabilt allows you to fully exercise ALL of the muscles of the leg; whereas, traditional treadmills simply force you to keep up with a moving surface, which only uses a subset of your muscles. This is why serious runners and triathletes prefer running outside over training on a treadmill.

Exercising in water both increases resistance and significantly reduces impact versus exercising on land. Thus, the Aquabilt can burn more calories in less time and is safer for rehabilitating injuries, for older or poorly conditioned individuals, and for serious athletes who want to improve conditioning without additional wear and tear on joints and the musculo-skeletal system.

As any swimmer knows, exercising in water eliminates excess body heat more efficiently than on land. Much like the comfort of an air-conditioned gym helps you to sustain a longer cardio workout than out on the open road, you will not have to stop jogging on an Aquabilt because your core body temperature simply overheats.
