WATER WORKOUT BLOG

The summer heat is on and especially excessive in some areas. Why risk heat stress when you can stay cool in the pool and still get in your cardio and muscle conditioning?  Liquid Intensity with Ronnie Miller is a 45-minute water aerobics workout that can be enjoyed in both deep and shallow water. Simple to follow, this pool workout challenges the entire body in the water’s resistance, while also providing some calorie-burning cardio. 

Incorporating equipment into a pool workout can add fun, creativity and results. AquaFIIT Smart Circuits with Katy Coffey showcases water exercises that can be performed using inexpensive pool equipment and household items that can be purchased for less than $3.00 each. Experience exercises that target upper body, legs and core using a half noodle, a small ball, plastic discs, an elastic loop and laundry mesh bags. Try the exercises by themselves or in a fun circuit. 

Take your aquatic cardio workouts a notch higher with a progressive circuit challenge that mixes up bounded, neutral and suspended movement, also known as Levels I, II, and III. Level Up with AquaGym Fitness founder, Stephanie Newberry is designed to help participants build stamina and muscular endurance with bouts of challenging cardio that increase in duration as the workout progresses. 

The ABC Deep Water Workout is exclusively deep because it features lots of lateral travel, spins, turns and vertical to horizontal movement that could never be done in a studio or in shallow water. Poolfit posts lots of dual depth videos that can be done in both deep and shallow water because they accommodate any pool depth. However, I thought it was time to once again showcase the unique elements of zero gravity and deep-water fitness.
