Pool Running
· Works on lower abs as well as gives legs a chance to get a great workout without the pounding of being on concrete.
· Can be done with aqua belt.
· For best results, pool running should be done in the deep end of the pool.
· Need to focus on running form while pool running.
o Make sure your body is vertical and not an angle or horizontal.
o Drive knees upward the straight down while arms go through a normal running motion.
o Try to keep shoulders out of water.
Swimming with a Kickboard
· Using a kickboard engages the ab muscles as well as works on leg strength.
· Flutter kick and dolphin kick can be used, and kicking can be down on front or back.
Arms with Water Dumbbells
· Keep arms straight out and push arms down into the water and bring arms back to starting position.
· Put arms straight down in front of you with dumbbells in water and do bicep curls.
· Float on stomach with dumbbell in each hand with arms extended out to sides. Push the dumbbells into water in an arcing motion until they are straight under you and slowly bring arms back out to sides.
Arms with Weights
· Bicep curls with weights in the water.
· Side arm rise with weights. Start with arms at sides then raise out to the side in an arcing movement all the way out of the water and up to the head then slowly lower arms back into water.
