Aerobic Exercises

 ThisExercise uses water weights, which
aren’t actually heavy but made of foam.
This pushes against water, creating
resistance.

and circulation in a low-impact way. It’s
easy on the joints strengthen, you can
transition to water jogging.
 3. Flutter Kicking
 Flutter
kicking also gets your heart pumping
without too much strain. It can be
performed with or without a kickboard. If
you have a kickboard, hold it out in front of
you and kick your legs as you moved back
and forth across the pool.
 4. Leg Lifts
 Leg lifts use the resistance of the water to
work all of the muscles in the legs, and can
improve balance and core strength. Stand
in the pool and lift one leg out to the side,
then back down and cross your other foot,
then down.

chest without putting too much pressure on
the joints with water push-ups.
