Classes provide a high-resistance, calorie-torching workout.
By Cari Shane April 15 It’s a new, if not odd, sight inside some public pools in the District — people kicking submerged punching bags and jumping up and down on floating boards. For about six months, hundreds of D.C. residents have been getting their feet wet with new “HydroSuite” classes, part of Mayor Muriel E. Bowser’s #FitDC initiative. HydroPole, HydroKick and HydroBoard join HydroSpin which has been a Department of Parks and Recreation offering since 2015.
It looked different and challenging, so I decided to try out some of the classes. First, I joined in for part of a HydroKick class, alternating kicking and punching a bag with Wynonia Harris, 44. Harris, who had been taking the class since October, knew what she was up against: water resistance. According to the AEA, water is 800 times denser — more viscous — than air. And the resistance is bidirectional.
“I never thought that I could sweat so much in the water,” Harris says. We do, indeed, sweat during water exercise, but because of thermodynamics, the water transfers heat away from the body faster than air.
