This is a great workout and even my arthritic knees feel better. I do laps in between exercises and I'm working towards three sets doing each exercise 30 times. I can spend a couple of hours in the pool, love the water. It's accelerated my weight loss and I feel energized afterwards. Thank you for posting.
I grew up on a freshwater lake and was a lifelong snob about pools. Then I got older and needed easy exercise. From one hesitant aquafit class a month I have become a 1 to 2 class a day addict and never do less than 2 hours in the pool 5 days a week. These vids are a great way to learn new moves. The other day, going to the pool, I felt a cool breeze and realized my pants were down around my ankles. Weight loss is great but so is the general feeling of well being and better fitness benefits. I am so lazy ~ just toss on my housecoat over my bathing suit .. then my coat. Go to the pool, rinse off after, toss on my housecoat and come home. KISS principal... if I want to be consistent. I recommend water exercise to anyone and everyone. There is a level for everyone to start.
Nice to hear from another 'water freak' like me! I agree that water exercise has a level for everyone to start at. I have a blog on WordPress called Moving Liquid where I talk about my weight loss and fitness journey via a swimming pool.
Thank you Jennifer. I have tried it. I did Zumba and I enjoyed it. I didn't think it was possible to do this in water and my joints didn't ache as much.
She really made me work out, Deshawn, and I am pretty fit. I was puffing, and my joints didn't suffer at all--that's the great part about water exercise. Hopefully, you can do these on your own at a pool--or join a class at the Y or other club that has a pool.

Hey Patti! Thanks for your note. I thought Lynda did such a great job here, and when I did her workout, I was really burning the calories. Enjoy! Steph
Hi Linda, I am having a third surgery on my feet, will be not-weight-bearing and in a cast till April 1, then out to rehab and exercise, until the fourth surgery on my other foot probably about 6-9 months, want to get back in shape, been in the cycle for almost two years now gained about 35 lbs. I am feeling defeated, What can I do nutritionally, physically, and emotionally to get well. Water will be my savior...Thanks
This all is not true. All that jumping makes the knees hurt so bad. These are great exercises, but I would like to warn all those with joint issues, not to do all that jumping, and keep your exercises under the water.
Hi: It's always best to discuss any physical activity with your healthcare provider--no matter the sport. The great thing about water exercise is that it lessens the pressure on the joints--which is why it's so popular for people with physical challenges. Thanks for your note. Also, if you don't have knee problems before your start water exercise, changes are you won't develop them while you do it.

Love this! Also do dry land( cycling, elliptical, zumba, etc.). Love swimming and aqua running, aqua zumba.

I had a patella scare last week! Thankfully nothing is wrong, but I want to cut back on high impact workouts and cardio in the pool. This is perfect!

Working out in the pool is perfect for those with joint problems or who are coming back from an injury. Thanks for sharing these exercises with us!
