Pool Step Ups

10/7/2018

This shallow-end exercise is done with pool stairs, alternately with aqua steppers. It aims at strengthening your leg muscles and at improving your balance.

With your lower body supported in the water all the time, you can easily and safely strengthen your legs. You will only be working against your upper body's weight, and against water resistance.

Noodle Leg Extension: Up and Down

12/3/2017

Comments

Introduction:
This shallow-end exercise combines two exercises: the leg extension and the noodle step. The noodle under your foot creates enough resistance to feel your muscles. Supporting your body by holding to the side ensures a better posture and helps stabilise your back.

Starting Position:
Stand along the wall in the shallow-end. Step on the noodle with your far foot and put it slightly in front of your body. Hold the rail (or the side of the pool) with one hand. Keep your arm straight and relax your shoulders. Put your other arm by your side.
