Water aerobics are gaining popularity today as part of fitness programs undertaken by various athletes and the general public.

These water aerobics are excellent for obtaining strong muscles of the hip and leg and help you have a good cardiorespiratory fitness. To start these exercises, you must first start simple walking in the shallow end of the pool. Some of the exercises that are ideal for novice underwater are:


water towers: These are for beginners. You should take one or two laps in the pool and repeat this for 5 times.


Water Squats: For those who need to be in the water with your feet apart. Then bend your knees and push your hips back in the posture of sitting in a chair. You must bend down until your knees are behind the toes. You should repeat this exercise for good muscle strength.
