Rotation Kicks

8/16/2020

Kicking your legs in the pool is a great way to tone your muscles. Adding a rotation movement to your leg kicks not only involves more muscles, but also improves your hip mobility.

This exercise is beneficial to all fitness levels and adds a bit of variety to the traditional flutter kicks. You will need a floating device which can be a noodle or a floating belt.

Yes, you can perform a squat exercise in the pool. When you stand in the shallow-end, most of your upper body would be above the water. That body-weight works against your working muscles.

This is also a good balance exercise. Use pool noodle or any floating device to support you if you find it too difficult to stay balanced.

Starting Position:
Stand in the shallow-end with wide stance and put your hands by your side. Keep your back straight.

This exercise is much more fun in the water than on dry-land. It is perfect if you want to work your glutes only as this motion isolates gluteal muscles from the rest of your muscles.

If performed regularly and in combination with other exercises it can help significantly in shaping your glutes.
