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 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.
