WATER WORKOUT BLOG

The Poolfit water exercise app launched in May 2020 and this is our sophomore summer season.  We would love your feedback on how we can improve to meet your water exercise needs.  Please take the time to answer a few questions in this short survey. 

Summertime is here and we wanted to let you know about everything new and exciting with the Poolfit Water Exercise App.  Since September 2020, 26 new pool workouts have posted and the Poolfit team has been busy releasing new features, such as trial workouts, categories, search, favorites and Chromecast/Airplay support, as well as an android version of the app. 

This water exercise video showcases unique opportunities for core training in the deep end of your swimming pool, while burning calories in a 45-minute deep water aerobic workout.  Deep water exercise with a flotation belt allows for repositioning of the body from vertical to horizontal for creative and challenging core training in the pool. 

Enjoy a 15-minute deep water ab workout in your pool.  Deep Core Express features the two core segments from Deep Cardio & Core.  This video was created to make it more convenient to keep a shorter ab workout in your Downloads for those days that you want to combine with another Poolfit workout for extra core training.

Many health seekers choose water exercise because they want or need lower impact fitness activities.  However, those exercising in shallow water will still experience joint impact and it is important to understand how to reduce that impact.  Aqua HiLo provides an excellent opportunity to learn how to protect your joints while enjoying a fun and challenging aerobic workout.

Spring has sprung, inspiring me to channel my inner coach by creating a spring training-theme pool workout that targets skills related to athletic performance.  Unleash your inner athlete with a fun aqua boot camp workout designed to make you a champion in daily activities by increasing stamina, agility, speed and more. 

It can’t be just cardio and muscle conditioning all the time.  Without flexible muscles and supple joints, the human body ages into pain, stiffness and endless struggles with daily activities.  Stretch Flex is the latest pool workout dedicated to healthy joints and muscular flexibility. 

Get ready to HIIT the pool wall for some Tabata training and then challenge your upper body with the water’s resistance.  Pyramids & Tabatas is a shallow water workout that alternates intense Tabata rounds using the pool wall with longer segments of muscular endurance.  Drag equipment can be used to enhance the water’s resistance in the strength segments.

AquaGym Fitness is well known for their fast-paced high intensity interval classes, but they also recognize the need to blend in other types of training for optimal wellness.  Their aqua Pilates class is based on concepts of traditional Pilates and features exercise that strengthen and lengthen muscles with a variety of equipment.

Dive in and challenge yourself with waves of intensity – small wave, big wave and monster wave.  AquaGym Fitness is back with video #8, Power Trios, a water workout that features several exercise trios that vary in intensity and build in duration.  Performed deep or shallow, the end result is better endurance and a stronger body.

Inspired by more positive news regarding vaccines and an overall improving situation, I decided it was safe to once again celebrate spring, that time of year when we come out of hibernation.   And what a hibernation it has been. Spring Training Total Body Intervals was designed to combat months of lockdown lethargy.  Instructors who teach in the studio can also take away some ideas for their classes.  

Get your dance on with some fun choreography and unload your athlete with high intensity ladder-style drills.  Aqua Choreography HIITs 2.0 can be done in both deep and shallow water and is designed to keep you engaged and excited while you complete 45-minutes of cardio training in the pool.
