Maybe: As with other aerobic exercise, water aerobics will increase your metabolic rate and help burn more calories. If you do not increase your calorie consumption you should see gradual weight loss.

Aquarobics.: Aquarobics,,or water aerobics, are great for burning calories. The water imparts extra resistance on the muscles, and being in water doesn't make it feel like you're working too hard when in actuality you're getting a great cardiovascular workout. Great choice. It'll help you lose weight.

Absolutely!: Studies have shown that when you have an "accountability partner, " you are much more likely to succeed in your goal. Set up some ground rules so that it's not a competition, but instead a true partnership.
