Aqua Dumbbells Exercises

Aqua dumbbells are like gym dumbbells except they are made of foam or plastic and they use water as a medium for resistance. There are two types of aqua dumbbells resistance: One is the surface area (those are usually the plastic ones) and the other is the flotation force (like the foam made ones) Moreover, both of these types of aqua dumbbells allow us to control the resistance by increasing/decreasing the speed or the range of motion of your movement. Aqua dumbbells are not only used to work your upper body muscles. But to support your body while doing lower body workout too.

Aqua Dumbbells Press

Alternate Aqua Dumbbells Front Push

Alternate Aqua Dumbbells Press

​This exercise is simple, yet it allows you to target your shoulders, chest and upper back effectively. It is also a great exercise to build your strength and coordination. All you need to get started in a pair of aqua dumbbells and your regular swim gear.

​How to Perform

Starting Position:
Start in a front lunge position to lower your shoulders under the water. Keep your back straight and chest up. Hold aqua dumbbells and bring your arms in front of your chest. Let your palms face each other. 
Action:
Bend your arms and push-pull the aqua dumbbells in an alternate motion. Start slow and controlled, focusing on the arms, then progress with faster movements. Don't pull your arms too far back. Stop when your elbows are under your shoulders. When you push the dumbbells, try to extend your arms all the way.
Breathing:
Alternate once as you inhale and once as you exhale. If you are doing one arm at a time, in a more focused way, exhale as you extend your arm.
