Aqua-Ω Exercise Ideas
​

We have been able to get some video sessions in and are in process of editing the material.

exercise examples


Most of these exercises can be done in deep water too, just use your preferred means of flotation, e.g. belt, cuffs, sitting on a noodle, or using a water horse by Karen Westfall's WaterWorkout.com or pool saddle by Hydrofit.com.​

To change it up a little more, try them while in motion; using a march-in-place, walking, jogging, or cross country movement; even a rocking horse or lunges are fun to use.

When you do the leg exercises, it will be more comfortable for your feet when you wear water-shoes.

 Try it for yourself! Be creative!

Most importantly: JUST HAVE
FUN

Red arrows are to indicate the direction of the Aqua-Ω movement, blue arrows are indicators for postural cues (see 'general information'). When you go through these examples and you look at how many have the blue arrows, keep in mind that this is most likely how you will look too!
Why not try one?​ Buy it here!

some examples of shallow water exercises 
​
By no means are these the only exercises possible, these are just to give you an idea of activities.

Deltoid/trapezoid: double the Aqua-Ω and hold in armpit, move arm down to your side and pull back up toward the surface.

Picture
Rotator cuff: position long Aqua-Ω around your back, hold in place with one hand. With elbow of working arm at your side, move fore-arm across your chest and back out.

Rotator cuff: triple-fold the Aqua-Ω, place it along fore-arm of working arm with elbow at your side. Move fore-arm across your chest and back out.

Core/chest/arms: hold Aqua-Ω in both hands, performing either a chest press or, as in this picture, a triceps/biceps movement with the arms, while frog or tuck jumping with the legs; performing an upright crunch in the trunk. In the video below you will see a combo move

Picture
Core/chest/arms: hold Aqua-Ω in both hands while one hands pushes down and the other pulls up. Simultaneously march in place.
Picture
Core/arm/leg: place left hand + right leg (or right hand + left leg) in Aqua-Ω, move it back and forth diagonally across body, similar to PNF.
Picture

Picture
Hip flexion/extension (straight leg raise): 1 foot in handle of Aqua-Ω, hold it tight against the leg while lifting leg straight up.
Picture
Hip extension: same as hip flexion, just swing further back. Be aware of arch in low back and keep abdominals tight!
Picture
Knee extension: place the double folded Aqua-Ω around 1 foot, stabilize it with a hand on your knee; bend and straighten your knee.

Ab/adduction hip: place 1 foot in a handle, hold on to other handle. Move leg out sideways and back to midline.

Hip internal/external rotation: place 1 foot in the Aqua-Ω, lign it up on the outside of your bend leg; move your leg towards midline and away (open and close the door)
