This 17 minutes routine is performed in the deep-end. You need two noodles (it could also be performed with one noodle or any other floating device). The target is your core muscles. It works by performing leg tucks in different body positions and then combining them all by swaying your body. |
- Hold the noodles with both hands and move to the deep-end. Lay flat on your back and start leg tucks for 1 minute. Try to bring your knees and torso closer together.
Try not to use your arms to push your body up and down. Only focus on using your core muscles and use the noddles for balance only. Take your time to lean and feel the resistance as you bend your knees too. |
With one noodle under your arms, perform the same exercise by swaying your body all the way on your back and then down in standing position, but this time with straight legs. Inhale as push your legs up. Exhale as you push down. Repeat for 2 minutes.
Don't let your legs just float up and fall down. Use your lower abs to push your legs up and your lower back muscles to push your legs down. Rest your hands on the noodle and relax your shoulders. |
1. In the shallow-end, hold the noodle in front. Put your feet in front and stand your heels. Keep your arms and legs straight and stretch your lower back muscles. Hold for 30 seconds.
2. Turn the noodle around and hold it back with straight arms. Spread your legs and push your torso up. Feel the stretch in your abs. Hold for 30 seconds.
