I think it's wonderful what a positive campaign Phelps has begun- our kids have been suffering from lack of healthy media influences. In my experience working with children as a teacher, exercise only happens when you make it fun. So especially now with this swimming fascination, I think it's wonderful to encourage children to take part in it- it gives them confidence by teaching them life saving skills and also gives them a low-impact workout (without them even realizing it). One thing we're considering is purchasing an Aquatic Fitness System (AFS). It serves as a spa, a pool, and an underwater gym- complete with resistance tethers and even an underwater bike (I believe)... Has anyone bought or tried one? The website is: www.aquaticfitnesssystem.com Thanks for your article- it's wonderful that other adults are taking an active interest in getting our children active!! Fitness Week in Review for September 29-October 5, 2008 - Blog Entry09 Oct 2008 05:51 PM Hi, I just posted on a another article as well, but I was wondering in your knowledge about fitness if you have ever heard of the Aquatic Fitness System? In all the research I've done (which has been a considerable amount), it looks like a great way to have an effective low-impact workout (since it's all in water), teach the kids how to swim, and have some quality family time as well. And it's supposed to give you "twice the workout in half the time too"- which I think means 10 minute workouts?? I hope so!! :) Anyway, the website is: www.aquaticfitnesssystem.com. We're considering purchasing one, and I'm curious if anyone has tried it? Thanks!
