Arm Exercises in the Pool

Alternate Arm Extension

9/9/2018

Noodle is one of my favorite aqua exercising tools due to its flexibility and shape. Taking advantage of noodle's flexibility is perfectly displayed in this shallow-end exercise.

This exercise mainly targets your upper body muscles. If you feel pain in your hands while performing this exercise - especially if for extended period of time - continue with smaller movements, or have a break.

Punches make great arm exercises in the pool. They can also make effective aerobic workouts if performed rapidly for longer time. However, combining punches with upper body twisting adds a lot to the exercise.

While the main focus is arm muscles, this exercise also targets your core, and increases your flexibility. It's highly recommended to perform with aqua dumbbells or any other resistance.
