Using the Accesories
|
|
|
|
- Begin With Correct Posture: Correct body position and
muscle control are essential when using buoyancy equipment.
- Start Slowly: Each time you use DeltaBells or AquaRunners
RX begin slowly with small controlled movements. As you become
stronger and more comfortable in the water, gradually increase
the speed of your movements. Pace yourself according to your
own capabilities and perceived effort. Listen to your body.
- Muscle Balance: Opposing muscle groups need to be worked
equally to ensure muscle balance during the workout. Focus on
applying equal force in both directions of the movement.
- Keep Joints Slightly Flexed: Eliminate full extension
of the shoulders, elbows, wrists or knees. These joints should
always be slightly flexed to prevent injury.
- Keep the Equipment in the Water: You should perform
moves that use resistive equipment completely in the water.
Eliminate in-and-out-of-water moves, as they can adversely affect
joints and muscles.
- Stretch What You Strengthen: While flexibility is important
in all types of exercise programs, stretching is even more vital
when equipment is used. At the end of your workout, stretch
all muscle groups worked with resistive equipment.

Delta
Bells®: Water Exercise Dumbbells
Discover the gym in your pool with versatile hand-held DeltaBells.
Made with soft buoyant foam and comfortable padded grips, DeltaBells
add stability, intensity, and diversity to your deep or shallow
water workout. Their unique triangular design allows you to vary
resistance and intensity with the turn of a wrist.
|
|
 |
- Resistance: To maximize resistance push the flat sides
through the water. To minimize resistance push the pointed ends
of the triangle into your exercise movement. The faster you
move the DeltaBells, the greater the resistance and intensity
of your workout.
- Support:A large range of exercises are also possible
when you use DeltaBells only for balance and support. Simply
rest the DeltaBells on the water's surface while you target
abdominal and lower body movements.

Web
Pro Gloves®:
Water fitness gloves add intensity to upper body movements and can
be used with most of the AquaJogger moves. The Webbed Pro Gloves
amplify the pull of a swim stroke, increase the workload and provide
a better "feel" for the water. The webbing system between the fingers
consists of a thin, flexible sheath that catches and cups the water,
resulting in up to 100 percent more resistance than swimming with
bare hands.
|
| The amount of resistance can be adjusted by:
Increasing or decreasing the speed of each exercise
Flexing or spreading the fingers to present more surface area
to the water and increases resistance.
Cupping or making a fist with the fingers to vary the surface
presented and also the amount of resistance. |
