Aquabiking \u2013 fitness on sleek bikes that sit on the pool floor \u2013 is a craze that, thanks to its low-impact nature, offers wellness benefits for just about anyone. Think spinning where you set the pace.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a $20,500 grant from the Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade\u2019s Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund, the Town of Huntsville will be purchasing up to 10 aquabikes to be included in the Centennial Pool\u2019s fall and winter programming. Classes will be offered for ages 13 to 100 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But why would you want to ride a bike underwater?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a great activity for just about everyone,\u201d says Simone Babineau, Manager of Recreation and Leisure Services for the Town of Huntsville. \u201cIt can be used purely for fitness, it can be an introduction back to the pool for those who haven\u2019t been in a while, and it can be used for rehab after injury.\u201d The Town is partnering with ProActive Rehab, Motivations Fitness, and Huntsville High School to be able to offer the programming to people recovering from injury and athletes looking for another way to train.<\/p>\n<p>Classes will be adaptive for different fitness levels and abilities, allowing participants who might have trouble with either dry-land cycling or swimming to reap the rewards brought by exercise in the water.<\/p>\n<p>From a fitness perspective, the benefits are simple: the harder you peddle, the more resistance you get and the more you work the muscles in your legs and improve your cardiovascular health. But it comes without added strain on your joints, which makes it an ideal activity for rehabilitation and athletes who want the burn without the lasting soreness afterward.<\/p>\n<p>The lesser resistance at slower speeds is what makes it good for all fitness levels \u2013 you can start out peddling slowly and as cardiovascular capacity and muscle strength improve you just peddle faster.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>We are really excited about it. It\u2019s so versatile that it can be used by both youth and seniors, it\u2019s a unique alternative to high-impact fitness activities \u2013 one that can be a lifelong pursuit \u2013 and it\u2019s a fun, social activity.<br \/>\n<cite>Simone Babineau, Manager of Recreation and Leisure Services<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Watch for details in the <u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huntsville.ca\/en\/living\/LeisureActivityGuide.asp\">fall leisure guide<\/a><\/u>, being released soon (and don\u2019t forget to check out all of the other activities on offer at the Canada Summit Centre!).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>This is a sponsored story paid for by the featured advertiser<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huntsville.ca\/en\/living\/LeisureActivityGuide.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17372\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/07\/TOH-Doppler-AquabikesBannerAd-1.jpg\" alt=\"TOH-Doppler-AquabikesBannerAd-1\" width=\"720\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/07\/TOH-Doppler-AquabikesBannerAd-1-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/07\/TOH-Doppler-AquabikesBannerAd-1.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s new and it\u2019s cool and it\u2019s coming to Huntsville this fall.
