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. |
Starting Position:
Stand by the side of the pool. Hold the wall with one hand. Step on the noodle with your far foot slightly in front of your body. Keep your other hand still by your side and your back straight. Starting Position
In the deep-end, while in standing position, hold the wall or the rail with both hands and stretch your arms to create enough space between your body and the wall. Step on the noodle with both your feet. Keep your back straight. Starting Position:
Stand in the shallow area by the side of the pool. Rest one hand on the wall/edge and keep your arm straight. Put your other hand in the water on your side and relax both your shoulders. Step on the noodle with your far foot and spread it slightly to the side (up to 45°). Keep your back straight and your body weight on your leg, not on the wall. |
