In this post, I will show you how to exercise your legs without using any equipment. The following exercises can be done in the shallow end of the pool, while standing. These exercises target the major leg muscle groups They are simple, yet they will help you to get stronger and more flexible. 

​If you think that bodyweight exercises don't work in the pool, I invite you to try this. While it is true that most of our body is supported in the pool, our chest, head and neck are not. So our muscles still have to hold some of our weight. And just because most of our weight is supported, it does not mean that we can't get a great workout. On contrary, we can get a much better workout in the pool than on land. Buoyancy give us the opportunity to control our workout intensity according to our needs and fitness levels. We can modify our movements to be more or less challenging. And we don't have to worry about hurting our knees and back.
