Inground Pool Cover Company, LOOP-LOC, Discusses Four Types of Workout Equipment That Are Pool Friendly
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., May 11, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- LOOP-LOC, manufacturer of inground pool covers that services New Jersey, discusses four types of workout equipment that are pool-friendly.
Summer weather means that fitness buffs often take their workout outside. One way to stay fit and healthy--without overheating--is to exercise in the swimming pool! Read on to get a better idea of the types of equipment that will work in a pool.
Water dumbbells. Dumbbells designed for water use vary from their gym counterparts. "Land" dumbbells are pulled down by gravity--and lifting the heavier ones can be challenging. Aquatic dumbbells have lightweight plastic handles with floating foam ends. They work the opposite way of traditional weights. The action of pushing them down under water is the workout. Pushing down works muscles such as back muscles, triceps, and abdominals.
Resistance bands. These stretchy cords--often made of rubber latex--offer a variety of workouts. Do bicep curls by standing in the shallow ends of the pool and stepping on the center of the bands, creating resistance by grabbing each handle of the band. The shorter the band, the tougher the workout.
Ankle weights. These types of weights also create resistance on the muscles. They wrap around the ankles and attach with fasteners. When used on land, the weights cause resistance each time the feet lift off the ground. In the pool, it is even more difficult since the water creates additional pressure. It is quite the workout! An even greater workout can be achieved by bringing the knees up toward the chest. Purchase a pair of dual ankle and wrist cuff weights to use these weights on the arms to give the legs a rest.
Water fan paddles. These tubes are held in the hand and feature circular, webbed fans on each end. Even though they are not heavy, they drag when pulled through the water for an effective resistance workout. They work the upper back, chest, and abs.
