Gentle water exercise ideas - try this free Aqua Walking Program for fitness, balance & joints

Searching for aqua jogging? Walking in water is a different way to exercise in the pool: feet on the floor, no deep water and no flotation belt needed. This free session is a gentle place to start. 👉 Interested to find out more? The 4-week AquaWalkingFIT program builds on this session: https://www.hydrofunctional.com/aquaw... We love giving you some ideas for aquatic exercise - well done for having a go. This is our most gentle program, good for knee rehab, arthritis or joint pain ... plus the Whitsundays are a beautiful part of north eastern Australia - good to mindfully imagine being there wherever you are and working out in the water! Walking in water has some advantages over deep water running or aqua jogging in that you are a little more steady, you're not floating, and that means you can push harder, and worry less about technique. Some motivating advice from AquaWalkingFIT participants: Pat: All clear and easy to follow, give it a go! Alice: It certainly is increasing my confidence … I’m wobbling less. Program is motivating. I feel really supported. It’s fun and interesting Gayle: The verbal encouragement and prompts for technique are wonderfully supportive We recommend waist to chest depth water works the best :) and even more than aqua jogging, walking in water is a more functional way to increase leg strength and balance. Good luck, from the team in Australia 🌊 Please note: the AquaWalkingFIT Program does not include direct supervision by a health professional on-site and will not be suitable for people *who need help getting in or out of the pool, or help when exercising in water *with a new health condition or recent surgery (please see your local health professional)
