When the sun is shining and the pool is open for summer we move outside to reap the benefits of the out doors and the best time to develop and replenish our vitamin "D" levels. We shift gears.... jump in the pool and now add to our workout pool exercise routines which are not only enjoyable, but also refreshing and good for you. According to WebMD, water aerobics are considered a safe alternative to standard aerobics and very low impact, putting very little stress on your joints. They also prove to be a better workout than those performed on land due to the resistance of the water.
Some of Our Pool Exercises
Leg Lifts
Using the resistance of the water, leg lifts work all of the muscles in the legs. Not only does this exercise work the legs, it also improves balance and strengthens your core.
Water Walking
....water walking is easy on the joints. The water’s buoyancy supports the body’s weight, which reduces stress on the joints and minimizes pain.... and it’s still a great workout. Water provides 12 times the resistance of air, so as you walk, you’re really strengthening and building muscle.”
Knee Drives
We do this after one set of each of the other moves for some cardio, or between the other exercises to give your workout more cardio focus.
Knee Raises
It's all about the "core"....When done correctly, this is a great core development exercise. You need to engage your abs so they do most of the work.
Noodle Bicycling
...and with keeping it really fun you will ride your pool noodle like a bicycle by pedaling your legs to propel you forward across the pool. You'll feel the burn in your legs first but the cardio catches up with you quickly.
