Morris County NJ  Aquatic Weight Loss

By Jose Fuentes/C.S.P.S./CN/CPT

Swimming has giving me an awesome sense of calmness. It has increased my endurance, cardiovascular health, and made me an overall stronger athlete. I have been helping clients to rehab, lose weight and increase mobility,  through aquatic therapies. Aquatic therapies, have improved the health of many injured people. Personally I have been going to the pool steadfastly for over a decade. Without ennui or incertitude. Buoyancy, can make your muscles strong, flexible, and powerful. Water weight loss programs have also been a part of my program, Although, SOME INDIVIDUALS swim or do pool work outs for different reasons. I want to show you 7 top pool exercises, that I have integrated for  weight loss, and rehab.  These same exercises  have kept me fast, strong, and flexible. But, best of all, they have helped my skin and muscle toning, as well as  the recovery time my body usually takes in between sets at the gym. It has also  helped my jiu-jitsu rounds when sparring and compete to last longer, and lastly  helped my golf game a ton!. Okay; no bad for a 46 year old dude right?

1-Start with a small swimming routine. If you know how to swim, and have not been at the pool in a while. Start with a 10-20 minute routine, using all the strokes you know. It doesn’t matter how fast or slow you do it. The key is to make it to the pool 4 times a week for 20 minutes. If you don’t know how to swim, no worries at all. Start jogging across the pool in an area where you feel safe. jog and walk for 10, 20 minutes. Do lunges in the water, squats, leg kicks, and anything you can think of, that you feel safe with.

2-Use Multi-joint movements while in the pool. This is very important . Here you want to develop a routine, where you feel, that you are working all your body’s extremities. Such as: back muscles, inner thighs, glutes, etc. Walk laterally in the pool. Jump and land-squat, do lunges in different angles, such as the pictures below. Must be waking lunges.
