Best Aqua Exercises for Obliques

7/22/2018

Side fat can be very stubborn and hard to get rid of. The reason I used the word stubborn is because that is exactly what it is, at least for men. When we exercise, our bodies don't release fat equally from all areas. For men, the area where fat is released slowly is the lower/side abs, for women it is the hips/pelvic. That makes losing fat from those areas more difficult.

Performing exercises, aerobically and anaerobically, that target your oblique can significantly help in that direction.

People find in swimming pools a safe environment for weight loss exercising. That is particularly the case for people with injuries or overweight people who want to avoid injuries due to body weight pressure on their joints. In addition, water provides a perfect cooling system against sweating, especially on hot summer days. Water also creates resistance for all muscle groups, which adds to the weight loss program. Not to mention the fun of exercising in the water.

Flutter Kick is a leg kicking movement in the water for the purpose of moving and keeping the correct body position while swimming.

Flutter kick is also used for aquatic exercising to tone leg and core muscles. One example is the side kick shown in the GIF on the left (click here to view this exercise).

But if the flutter kick is not performed correctly, then it may not have the effect intended. A person doing a wrong flutter kick would find himself using extra effort and not moving. So in the article, I will explain the correct method to perform flutter kicks.
