Claudio, thanks for trying out the exercises! I'm so glad to know that they are helpful for you.

Kay, all of my aquatic apparel is from H2OWear h2owear.tinyc.co/chloroguard-gloves Here you'll find water shoes; they provide foot support like a regular tennis should but allow water to pass through so they do not become weighted.

Jean that's fabulous! The water is great place to keep the hips strong.

Thanks for following! Glad you enjoy.

Thanks for following along! Yes, I agree foot strengthening is a must for total body function. For some people footwear is a must in and around the pool area for safety and foot protection. When possible doing yoga in the pool barefoot is an excellent way to improve foot mobility and strength.

Great question! The key to best results is variability. Try 1-minute of each exercise. You can increase or decrease the length for variety (i.e. 30-seconds or 90 seconds). This will help you improve mobility, strength and endurance.

@@WaterExerciseCoach thank you for your response!

Hi Gerry, As for all exercises follow any precautions provided by your doctor and move in a pain free range of motion.

@@WaterExerciseCoach ok thank u

Hi Jane, you'll want to use the arms as shown in the video. Any questions about a specific arm movement please let me know.

You're.welcome. Thanks for watching!

Wearing aquatic shoes have many benefits including: reduce joint impact (more important for higher impact exercise or if you have joint pain); easier to change from one move to the next; foot protection in/out of the pool. I hope that helps.

Thanks for your great question. Always move in a pain free range of motion. To help reduce stress on the joint, submerge the shoulder under water during movement. If movement in any direction hurts, make the move smaller or in a different direction finding a range that feels good. To help strengthen the rotator cuff muscles movement in all 6 directions is key (font to back, side to side, rotation right and left). It is also great to move the arm on diagonals 'draw an X pattern under water'.

Water Exercise Coach, Thank you! Great info!

Thanks for viewing! Water shoes are optional but recommended. For gentle water exercise you need a simple slip on shoe that provides some traction. If you are doing higher intensity exercise a shoe designed for water exercise is preferred. Although reduced, there is still impact on the joints in water. Ryka is the brand I recommend.
