Incorporating pool workouts is the perfect way to mix up your routine. Buoyancy is an upward force provided by water that offsets some of the weight from your body. Exercising in water can decrease the load on your joints, allow you to perform exercises that may be more difficult on land, and may be appropriate acutely after surgery or an injury. If you never planned an aquatic workout or implemented a pool day into your exercise routine, it may be difficult to know where to start. Here are 5 of our recommended pool exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-6 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<p><strong>Water Walking: <\/strong>Water walking is a great aerobic exercise. Walking in water is more difficult due to the increased resistance from the water. Find a pool with water that is about waist-high and a lane that is long enough to walk back and forth. Start by walking straight with your core tight for 20-30 minutes. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week (30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercises 5 days per week or 20 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise 3 days per week).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/357E6E55-2D27-43E0-8C32-A6DA9FFD0563-1-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6539\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/357E6E55-2D27-43E0-8C32-A6DA9FFD0563-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/357E6E55-2D27-43E0-8C32-A6DA9FFD0563-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/357E6E55-2D27-43E0-8C32-A6DA9FFD0563-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/357E6E55-2D27-43E0-8C32-A6DA9FFD0563-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/357E6E55-2D27-43E0-8C32-A6DA9FFD0563-1-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/357E6E55-2D27-43E0-8C32-A6DA9FFD0563-1-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/357E6E55-2D27-43E0-8C32-A6DA9FFD0563-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<p><strong>Flutter Kicks: <\/strong>Flutter kicks are another fantastic aerobic exercise.
