Using The Correct Gear For Your Water Workout
Just take a look at all the water exercise gear available in stores today. They represent quite a lot of routines you can use for your water workout.
Aqua Blocks = Arm Curls
These small barbells increase resistance as you move your arms through the water. While in chest-deep water, use the blocks for curls, just as you would conventional barbells. Since water is 12 times more resistant horizontally than air, the pressure you exert in the downward, backward motion intensifies your water workout.
Water Woggles = Abdominal V
These 4-inch foam cylinders offer both resistance and buoyancy. Back float in at least chest-deep water and stretch out your arms, holding a woggle on each side. Take a breath and slowly bring your body into a V, exhaling as you go. Straighten out then repeat.
Gyrojoggers = Triceps Kicks
Wear these foam circles on each hand while in waist-deep water and then bend until your torso is parallel to the water surface. From a vertical position, bend your elbow and bring each arm up towards your hip, glancing in its direction to avoid stress on your neck muscles. Read on by visiting your water workout
