Kickboards aren’t just for swimming. They can create powerful drag resistance in a water fitness workout. Kickboard Bootcamp with Jackie Lebeau is a 50-minute pool workout that alternates two exercise stations, one with a kickboard and one using the pool wall. Enjoy a water workout that includes cardio, core and muscle conditioning and can be performed in either deep or shallow water, or both.
Kickboard Bootcamp was designed to provide water exercise enthusiasts with lots of options. This water exercise video was filmed with two participants and two exercises stations, one with a kickboard and one using the pool wall. If you exercise with a buddy, you can follow exactly as is. If you exercise on your own, you can choose kickboard for the first two timed intervals and the pool wall for the following two, or choose all kickboard or all pool wall. As mentioned above, other options include doing the workout all deep, all shallow or half and half.
