Join Mushi Harush for Deep Energy, a 45-minute deep water aerobic workout that targets both cardio and muscular endurance. This deep water workout targets five fitness goals, including muscle endurance for upper, lower body and core, as well as skill training for speed and power. A flotation belt is required, but there is no additional equipment needed. This pool workout utilizes the water’s resistance.
Originally called Deep Five, Mushi developed this program a while back and it has consistently been one of her most popular deep water classes. Originally from Argentina, she now lives and works in Israel. Mushi is the founder of the Israeli Aquatic Exercise Center and an international training specialist for the Aquatic Exercise Association (AEA).

1. Speed – 30 seconds
2. Lower Body – 1 minute
3. Upper body – 1 minute
4. Core – 1 minute

A deep water flotation is required in deep water fitness activities. First and foremost, the belt is required for safety reasons. However, the belt plays a critical role in obtaining intended fitness results in a deep water workout. The belt provides neutral buoyancy on the waist, which frees up the arms to perform powerfully and aerobically in the workout. Without the belt, the arms would be sculling, and the legs would be treading to keep your body vertical and aligned. Watch the video below to better understand the importance of a flotation belt in deep water exercise.
Poolfit extends a big thank you to Mushi for sharing her passion and knowledge with subscribers, and for fitting in a filming trip to Florida in her busy international schedule. Check out her bio and her other three Poolfit videos, which include the use of a noodle, a towel and a small ball.
