Make the Pool Your Gym

Useful book

Excellent book which gives you guidance on best way to exercise in water. Photos and text explain each exercise. Suggested routines are included and exercises for different muscles are explained.

El manual cumple con los cometido que es realizar gimnasia en el agua y las instrucciones son claras en cada rutina., lógico esta en ingles, pero no hay problema con el idioma.

Great add on for those pool exercises

Lots of us, including myself, have access to a public pool, but besides swimming endless, boring laps, what else is there? What about following an injury or surgery? Interested in getting back into shape with minimal chance of further injury? Well, then pool aerobics could be for you and this concise little book written by a fitness guru could be for you. These exercises are "easy." No fancy choreography. They are clearly described and anyone can do them, no age limits. If you can get in the pool and float, you are good. The exercises aim to create a total body workout and are a great start for beginners. That said, for the more advanced athlete, interested in "progressing to new levels," these exercises are okay too, but there are no instructions to incorporate these into another type of training routine, just stand-alone. Overall, recommended for thoroughness and simplicity.

Excellent book. I received it yesterday and digested as much as I could pertinent to the areas of my body that I am attempting to rehabilitate after serious injury and 2 years in a wheelchair. Putting just some of the suggestions into practice upped the efficiency of my cardio session and burned an additional 100 calories over the same 45 minute session compared to what I had been achieving before. The book breaks down into easy sections based on what you want to do or which area of your body needs attention. Tips are given with each suggested workout pattern, making it clear on how to adapt any given exercise if a particular body part is sore or vulnerable. Step by step photographs for every single exercise are clear and easy to follow. I heartily recommend this book. It's going to make all the difference for me in rehabilitating and getting fitter!
