Make the Pool Your Gym: No-Impact Water Workouts for Getting Fit, Building Strength and Rehabbing from Injury Kindle Edition

I am fairly new to water aerobics and wanted to bring this book to the pool for ideas. I removed the pages with a boxcutter and used sheet protectors and a binder. The book describes the benefits of water work-outs and includes easy to read workout programs with illustrations. I highly recommend this manual.

I never realized how many variations of water moves could be executed until I bought this book. It's well written, well designed, laid out in a manner to help you from very beginner stage to advanced athlete. There are plenty of underwater photos showing each exercise in stages. The written description of each move is short and succinct. Using the book as a guide I've made a 'pool mate sheet', laminated it, and take it will me poolside to use until I have that stage memorized. If you use this book as intended you will surpass your personal best time and again...and have fun doing it!

This book contains some valuable information, but also a lot of information that seems rather unnecessary. I bought the book and am obviously interested in water workouts, so why so much information designed to persuade me that water workouts are beneficial? The pages would have been better utilized by providing more detail as to how to actually perform the exercises. The black-and-white photos are rather unappealing; for the price of the book I expected color illustrations. On the whole I am somewhat disappointed.

Excellent book. I received it yesterday and digested as much as I could pertinent to the areas of my body that I am attempting to rehabilitate after serious injury and 2 years in a wheelchair. Putting just some of the suggestions into practice upped the efficiency of my cardio session and burned an additional 100 calories over the same 45 minute session compared to what I had been achieving before.The book breaks down into easy sections based on what you want to do or which area of your body needs attention. Tips are given with each suggested workout pattern, making it clear on how to adapt any given exercise if a particular body part is sore or vulnerable. Step by step photographs for every single exercise are clear and easy to follow.I heartily recommend this book. It's going to make all the difference for me in rehabilitating and getting fitter!

I like water. I don't like exercise. I purchased the book to make exercise more enjoyable by doing it in the pool. I developed routines based on suggestions in the book. I am tired when I'm done so I think it worked.

I have a pool and was interested in learning exercises I could benefit from. I am over 70 and have not been as active as I should. This actually works. My knees have gained strength and no longer feel pain when stooping. Gradually I am tightening some of the flabby areas also. I am very pleased with the easy exercises and how much progress I have made. Would recommend to any age person, not just seniors. This is easy and fun.

I am 74 yrs. old and have back problems caused by spine alignment and stenosis. I also have a torn ACL in my left knee. I use the pool to exercise because it's much easier for me. I bought the book to show me which exercises to do for each problem. The images are clear and the information is easy to read and understand.

Poorly organized. Seems to be quickly thrown together for writer's profit rather than reader's benefit. My other water exercise books written by Melissa Layne and Martha White were much more helpful

Good book for anyone interested in doing some basic movements themselves rather than attending a class.

Aqua fit is my passion.Love this book. Really useful and encouraging.

Easy to follow guidance on pool exercises. Only problem is it is difficult to refer to while in the pool. Really needs to be accompanied by some laminated cards of the exercises which can be places poolside for easy reference.

Great for work out in pool

Great!
