    | About Us Aquarobics Ltd was originally set up to run training courses for teachers of Aquarobics, and to market related products. The Aerorobics initiative has now been incorporated as a major subsidiary activity. This started with Glenda Baum's "Little Book of Healthy Flying", written by her and published in July 2001, by Arrow Books. Harold Baum then set the exercises as song lyrics, and a team of talented family and friends was assembled to turn these into a musical album. Meet The Aerorobics Team |

Glenda Baum - Deviser
of Aerorobics
Twenty years ago, Glenda
Baum (MCSP, SRP, MSc), a well established Chartered Physiotherapist,
devised “Aquarobics”, the system of keep-fit, exercise-to-music in water.
The system became so popular that the word “aquarobics” is now a generic
term included in the dictionary! Glenda has now developed a new system
of exercise to carry out while flying, without disturbing other passengers.
