Aquatic fitness is an alternative to a traditional fitness center workout but with the added benefits of water. Water supports the body, putting less stress on your joints and muscles. Pushing against the water also activates your muscles. Here is one of the easiest exercises you can dive right into:
Walk in water
Walking in water is a good exercise to start off with as it helps you get a feeling for how you can create resistance. Walking in water can target your arms, core, and lower body. You can increase the intensity by using hand or ankle weights.
• Start off walking in shallow water, around waist height.
• Lengthen your spine and walk by putting pressure on your heel first and then your toes, instead of walking on your tiptoes.
• Keep your arms at your side, in the water, and move them as you walk.
• Engage your core and stand tall as you walk.
• Continue 'walking' for 5-10 minutes.
