Exercises in the pool

Someone said, that you only swim in the pool? Not true! The pool is a good place to exercise. Thanks to the resistance of water, we can model our body faster and get the desired shapes. Is it working? So, it works great! Try it yourself, really worth!

List of exercises:
* Hold your hands firmly to the edge of the pool wall, rest your feet against the wall (under the surface of water). In this position, bend and straighten your legs. The range of motion should reach your limits.

* Hold on to the edge of the pool wall with one hand, rest the other on your hip or thigh. Then slowly raise your extended leg to the side as high as possible, then lower at a slow pace. Do the exercise in a standing position – both legs must be fully extended.

* Bend your legs slightly at the knees, stand slightly astride. Hold the pool wall with your hands. Then do the deepest possible squat (go under the water) and return to the starting position. Movement in this exercise should be vigorous, and the number of repetitions to the limit of your ability. If you want, so that the squats tire you faster, take “piggyback” a colleague and practice a little slower pace (be careful not to hit the other person's chin with your head).

* Grasp the pool wall with your hands and lie belly down in the water. Keep your head above the surface of the water, the legs are slightly submerged. In this position, swing your legs (one up-down series, the other on the side) for a few minutes (as if you want to(a) to swim). Movements should be vigorous.

* Enter the shallow water pool like this, that it reaches up to your chest as much as possible. Then create a jogging route (it is best if there are no obstacles in the form of other people swimming / playing in the pool) and run as fast as you can in your legs. Do the exercise until you are completely tired (it will happen in a short time, because the water has a lot of resistance).

* The next exercise is very easy, but extremely effective. You will tire your calves with it very quickly. What is that? It is enough to enter the water reaching the neck and slightly jump (they may be jumping in place, or slightly ahead) without bending your legs at the knees or doing so lightly. Only the calves work. 5 minutes of jumping will certainly be enough, anyway see for yourself(a).

* Another, running in place is an effective exercise. How to do it? Nothing easier. It is enough to enter the shallow water (its level should be approximately to the belly) and run lifting your knees as high as possible. Make quick movements. If anyone can hold on 5 min, is guaranteed to sore the next day.
