An immersion in nature
Morbihan, with its indented coastline, sandy beaches, hidden coves and clear waters, is an ideal setting for water-walking. Several natural sites are perfectly suited to this activity. The beaches of the Rhuys peninsula, the Golfe du Morbihan and the Morbihan islands offer ideal terrain for this gentle aquatic activity. Water walking involves moving through the water at a moderate depth, generally between the ankle and waist, following a linear trajectory or exploring the area as you please. This activity lets you enjoy the calm of the sea, while using your body’s muscles in a different way, thanks to the resistance of the water. What’s more, walking in the water has the added advantage of being less traumatic for the joints, making it ideal for people with mobility problems or athletes recovering from injury.
Physical and mental benefits
Walking in water offers many benefits, both physical and mental. First and foremost, it involves the whole body. Water exerts a gentle pressure on the skin, stimulating blood circulation and promoting lymphatic drainage. By walking against the resistance of the water, muscles in the legs, buttocks, abdominal muscles and even the back are called upon more intensely than in conventional walking. On a mental level, walking in water is an excellent way to relax and reconnect with nature. The soothing sound of the waves, the invigorating sea air and the unspoilt Morbihan environment provide the ideal setting for relaxation. This activity is conducive to meditation and letting go, helping to reduce stress and promote better mental health.
Outings for all levels
Routes can be modified according to the intensity required: a slow, soothing walk for those seeking a moment of relaxation, or more dynamic routes for those wishing to strengthen their endurance and tone their body. Local professionals also offer supervised sessions, with specially adapted exercises, allowing you to discover the activity in complete safety.
