Frequently Asked Questions
|
A Neptune Master can triple or even quadruple the positive benefits of swimming in less time - however, Neptune Trainees DO NOT have to be swimmers!
|
1. |
Is Neptune Training just for world-class athletes? |
|
|
No, although it could be used to improve
the performance of athletes in any sport. Parts of Neptune training
could be used by virtually anyone to get better results from their
workout time.
|
2. |
What are the major advantages of Neptune Training? |
|
|
Increased strength, flexibility, range of motion,
muscle tone, circulation, and endurance, in a reduced amount of time, are the major advantages.
Neptune training might be the best thing that has happened to personal training since the weight machine, and it's probably better.
|
3. |
Why is swimming/Neptune Training considered to be such
a great workout? |
|
|
Swimming works your whole body, improving cardiovascular
conditioning, muscle strength, endurance, posture and flexibility
all at the same time; Neptune Training multiplies all the benefits
of swimming many times over, with the added benefit of developing
true core strength.
|
4. |
How does Neptune Training build muscle? |
|
|
As the water pushes against the body, movements
become more difficult, requiring muscles to work harder. Calories
are burned and muscles are toned.
|
|
|
|
Basic
– Learn to use hand paddles properly to minimize stress
on joints (Neptune Training should never cause discomfort –
if it hurts, don’t do it!); learn to stretch to improve
flexibility; develop basic kicking skills; learn to breath properly
with and without the use of a snorkel |
|
Advanced –Tie all the basics together and use them efficiently
to achieve an excellent workout; learn upper body power and
stretching moves; increase muscle tone; develop yoga-type flexibility;
increase range of motion |
|
Extreme – Learn how to challenge every muscle in your
body; build optimum strength, endurance and flexibility; achieve
optimal muscle performance |
|
Master – A Neptune Master must show advanced skills
and understanding, with a very high level of strength, endurance
and flexibility. Neptune training will challenge even the strongest
of athletes and optimize your core strength. A Neptune Master
must have a deep-seated quest to obtain optimum health.

|
5. |
How can I provide more resistance
in the water to build muscle? |
|
|
By adding fins and paddles in various sizes, as you
progress from Advanced to Extreme Neptune Water Aerobics.
|
6. |
Does sweating help lose weight? |
|
|
Only if you want to reduce the water content of your
body! Only muscle burns fat, so the more muscle mass you have, the
easier it is to burn fat and lose weight. |
