Have you heard of Aqua exercises? They are exercises done in water. They are also called water exercises,. It is believed that aqua exercises can help people burn more fat than exercises on dry land .There are two main types of aqua exercises.

First, aqua jogging. We must wear a special belt which can protect us and help us floating as we run in the water. Although we are in water, we should run very hard as if we were jogging on dry land.

Aqua jogging can protect our joints(關(guān)節(jié))and at the same time make our muscles (肌肉) work hard.

The famous actress, Jennifer Aniston, is reported to aqua jog for fifteen minutes every day. Now there are many aqua jogging clubs and classes all over the UK.

Second, aqua Tai Chi .Tai Chi on land is an ancient Chinese exercise designed to improve balance, reduce stress and help people to relax. Aqua Tai Chi can do this better. Peter Chou , who has established a Tai Chi school , says, “Tai Chi is about fluidity(流動(dòng)性) and relaxation. For thousands of years, experts have been asking people to imagine being in water when they are practicing Tai Chi, so why not actually put them in water? When their hands and feet move slowly through water, the people can experience what fluidity feels like both mentally and physically, and understand this exercise better. The water can also make them slower and more relaxed.”

People will need an understanding of Tai Chi and should be able to perform some of the simple movements on land before trying aqua Tai Chi. It is not suitable for beginners because they need to see how the teachers’ hands and feet are moving, which is not easily done underwater.

The Venice Historical Regatta

Every year, on the first Sunday of September, the Historical Regatta takes place in Venice. It has been one of the most important festivals in Venice since 1315. In the beginning, the event was organized to celebrate the return of Catherine Carnaro, the queen of Cyprus. Today, it is a celebration of joy and friendship.

The Historical Regatta · is made up of two parts : a parade and a rowing boat competition. The celebration starts with a parade of boats on water. The boats in the parade are colourful, and many of them have golden painting on both sides. People on these ancient-style boats wear clothes from the sixteenth century.

After the parade, there is a competition on the Grand Canal. It is watched by thousands of people. The Regatta is the most important event for every rower. For them, winning on that day means to become part of the history of this sport and of Venice. So rowers all over Venice look forward to joining in and winning this competition.

Traditionally, the 1st place winner was awarded a red flag, while the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place winners received white, green and blue flags. Some other awards were given along with the flags. One of them was a little living pig. But since some animal protection organizations object to this, the pig award has been cancelled.
