Step to Single Leg Squat

6/16/2019

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.

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.

Introduction:
To perform this deep-end exercise, you will need two noodles in a deep-end where your feet don't touch the bottom of the pool. It's preferably done with a pool railing because its grip is much more comfortable than holding onto the side of the pool.
