Make the Pool Your Gym: No-Impact Water Workouts for Getting Fit, Building Strength and Rehabbing from Injury Paperback – July 6, 2021

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!

Lots of us, including myself, have access to a public pool, but besides swimming endless, boring laps, what else is there? What about following an injury or surgery? Interested in getting back into shape with minimal chance of further injury? Well, then pool aerobics could be for you and this concise little book written by a fitness guru could be for you. These exercises are "easy." No fancy choreography. They are clearly described and anyone can do them, no age limits. If you can get in the pool and float, you are good. The exercises aim to create a total body workout and are a great start for beginners. That said, for the more advanced athlete, interested in "progressing to new levels," these exercises are okay too, but there are no instructions to incorporate these into another type of training routine, just stand-alone. Overall, recommended for thoroughness and simplicity.

Still using this book. If you are new to owning a pool, this book may go over your head. However, as you learn you'll refer back to this book for understanding. Glad my local pool company referred me to this book.

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.

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 used it as a guide to start a workout in our pool! ❤️💯

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.
