Water Exercises
Water exercises are real fun. Water provides the desired resistance for you to build the much required muscle tone. It also helps you achieve balance and control over your body movement.
Take for example; you are doing a sit-up in shallow water. Here you need excellent balance, because if you are doing a wavering sit-up, rest assured you will fall into the water. Some bodybuilders do water exercises once a week. This they feel helps them achieve a total control over their body when they are at the health club lifting weights. Kids will love water exercises. Care has to be taken, to always allow your kids in shallow water.
So what kind of exercises can you do in a swimming pool or water pool? The answer is innumerable. Actually you can do just about anything. Here are some…
Let’s start of with a shoulder workout. Adults who know how to swim should only do this workout.
- Stand in water that comes up to you shoulders - Make sure your feet are placed firmly on the floor of the pool.
- If you may, you can take two lightweight dumbbells - Place your hands at your sides, and slowly lift them sideways, until they reach the level of your shoulders. Lower your hands slowly. Repeat the motion for about 15 times. The next exercise is a sit-up exercise for your thighs.
- Stand in water that comes up to your knees, or if you can, you waist.
- Lower your back slowly against the resistance of the water. Lower as much as you can.
- Now, slowly come up again, and stand up.
- Repeat the motion 8 times.
Now, here are some abdomen exercises:
- Firstly, you need to know some swimming to do these exercises. – Go to the wall of the pool that also has some kind of holder, in which you can grip yourself.
- Hold the holder. Now slowly raise your knees, and bring them up to your chest. Repeat this motion for about 15 times. – Next, let your back face the holder. Hold the holder, and raise your outstretched knees horizontally until they are parallel to your torso.
- You can get your legs a good stretch by doing free cycling in the pool. Hold on to the holder, and move your legs in a cyclical motion.
