Fun Pool Workout to Exercise Along With

Friday, November 29 2019

Aside from being a fun, high intensity cardio workout, this routine is easy to follow along with in the pool.  Miff lead her favorite ‘go-to’ aqua workout that she teaches in her classes and likes to exercise along with on her own.    

According to Miff, this workout is always a crowd pleaser and it is the routine she uses when she subs a class.  Miff admits that choreography is rather challenging for her and so the moves in this routine are easy-to-follow and easy-to-teach.  Choreo Lite is based upon a template that anyone can follow.   It begins with 5 base moves and then progresses through several more blocks with new moves added on and changes layered in.  

CHOREO LITE:  WORKOUT-AT-A-GLANCE

BASE MOVES
The entire routine is rooted in base moves (jacks, skis, kicks, jogs, etc…), which make it easy to follow along with. 

BASE MOVE VARIATIONS
After the initial 5 base moves are introduced in Block #1, the workout then progresses through several more blocks of the base moves with variations “layered” in such as changes in arm patterns, travel, direction, tempo, impact levels and intensity.

ADD-ON
In addition to the layered variations, one new move is added every time a new block is introduced. 

TEMPLATE
Aside from being a fun, high intensity cardio workout, this routine provides a template of 6 blocks of movement that can be recreated with other exercises or variations. 

6 BLOCKS

BLOCK #1
Five base moves are introduced.

BLOCK #2
These base moves are retaught with changes that involve forward & backward travel.  One new move is also added.

BLOCK #3
In this block, travel is used once again as the layered variation; however, the travel is lateral – moving right to left.  Another new move is added.

BLOCK #4
The base move variation layered in this time is changes in arm patterning; specifically assist and impede.   Another new move is added.

BLOCK #5
Changes in impact level and tempo are introduced in this block and another move is added.

BLOCK #6
It’s time for the finale.  Another move is added and this time around the goal is to amp up the intensity with force and power.

PoolFit would like to extend a big THANK YOU to Miff Hednriksen for sharing her “go to” workout with video subscribers.  Enjoy this fun cardio pool workout.
