Best Water Aerobics Exercises

Water aerobics is a form of exercise in which aerobic exercises are performed in a relatively shallow body of water, such as a swimming pool. This has become a popular approach to fitness in older communities, as well as for people who are recovering from injuries or have problems with their joints. Many exercises like cycling can be difficult for some people, but water aerobics offers a healthy and effective workout. This is a type of resistance training, with water acting as the force against your movements & this can help increase circulation/strength, while also burning calories and aiding in weight loss.
Water Aerobic Exercises are;
Pike Skull: This exercise is performed by standing on the shallow side of the water which involves treading with both hands at your sides and forming a “V” with your body by lifting both the legs together.
Flutter Kicking: Holding the side of the pool, flutter your feet rapidly underwater, which will work out your quadriceps, hips, and back muscles.
Water Push-Ups: At the edge of the pool, brace yourself up with your arms & lift your body halfway out of the pool. Hold for five seconds and then lower yourself, in control, back into the water.
Kick/Punch: Go into water deep enough that covers your arms, then begin punching and kicking with alternating legs and arms. Do this rapidly, as this is a very effective cardiovascular exercise that will elevate your heart rate.
Wavemakers: Holding onto the side of the pool, keep your legs and feet together and flap your legs like a mermaid or a dolphin, working out your core, back, & buttocks.
Water Walk: A good preparation includes doing a few strides across the length of the pool, getting your body warmed up & used to the resistance of water.
K-treads: Go to the deep side of the pool & make small circles with your arms, holding your legs pointed down. Then, raise one leg up and hold for five seconds, then alternate legs.
Aqua Jogging: Same as land jogging, try to move your way through the water rapidly. Begin in shallow water & then go deeper as you improve at this exercise.atre
