Chiara De Luca, an actress and film producer who lived in Paris, got hooked on a favorite workout activity of the French -- l’aquabiking. It seems aqua cycling is all the rage in France and in Italy, which doesn't seem far fetched considering the culture of cycling in Europe. So she came to Miami and opened ElementAqua, a studio in Little River devoted exclusively to aquatic fitness with a focus on aquacycling. The appeal of water exercise is it builds endurance as a cardio experience, but as the water supports the body weight, it reduces stress on joints. Burns lots of calories too. And then there's aquazen for mind and body.
