Above Ground Pool Water Exercise Program

Exercising in the water can help a wide range of people. Conditioned athletes wade in to build endurance and strength. People with arthritis and back pain find it an ideal place to stretch and obtain an aerobic workout.

“Your backyard above ground swimming pool is your home fitness center,” says John R. Spannuth, president and CEO of the United States Water Fitness Association in Boynton Beach, FL. He recommends finding a nationally certified water fitness instructor or trainer to learn the right techniques.

“In a pool, you can get a tremendous workout,” agrees Luis R. Mejia, M.A.P.T., rehabilitation manager for physical therapy at the Cleveland Clinic Florida Spine Institute in Weston, FL.

He cautions to build up the routine gradually. “From a fitness standpoint, any aquatic exercise is very beneficial. If there are medical conditions, folks need to get the advice of a professional, so they can be successful at it.” The Above Ground Pool & Spa Company can get you started!
