Body-weight Exercises in the Pool

While it is true that our body weight is supported in the water, that doesn't mean that we can't benefit from bodyweight exercises in the pool. Water buoyancy eliminates most of our weight in the water (depending on person's density) but not all of it. So we are still using some of our weight when we perform those exercises in the pool. In addition, water provides safe environment for our joints, which makes performing those exercises in the pool better than on dry land for people who are concerned with joint injuries.

In this post we will discuss how to perform bodyweight exercises, how to increase body weight resistance in the pool and as usual provide some examples from our library.

The hip joint is a large and a major joint in the human body, as it allows us to perform basic daily tasks like walking or running. And because of its important role, the hip joint is the most flexible (along with the shoulder joint).

To strengthen your hips, you need to strengthen all the components that surround your hip joint. Those components (which include muscles, fibers, ligaments and bones) stabilize and make our hips do their work.

In this post, we will address the basic moves - with examples - that will make your hips stronger.

Knee is the most vulnerable joint in our body. That is why knee injuries are very common and that is why we need to strengthen our knee joint.

Water is the safest, and the most sufficient environment to strengthen your joints in general and your knee in particular. That is due to water buoyancy that supports your weight while working out.

In this post, we will explain how knee joints become stronger with exercising, and we will post some useful examples to follow.

Not Moving While Flutter Kicking?

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.
