Water Exercise

I think that this book would be especially helpful for anyone getting acquainted with water exercise, especially those who may not know how to swim and/or may be starting out w/o benefit of a coach/instructor. Concise, factual, photos and descriptions of movements are very clear. Perhaps best of all, the author is relentlessly positive and encouraging, while also reiterating safety concerns.

Plenty of illustrations to help choose the correct exercise. Would recommend this book to anyone looking for water exercises.

I still haven’t even read this through, but it seems informative and it’s the only existing book I can find with information pertaining to water aerobics. For that, it deserves a good rating! Contains exercises and explanations!

Good explanation, lots of pictures

I do deep water aerobics and was looking for a different set of exercises to work out with. This is more for shallow water though there are a few deep water in the book...Good book just not really what I was looking for. Would be good for shallow water routines.

I purchased this for my physical therapist as she does pool therapy. She's already trying things out.

An excellent introduction and help to practice aquaerobic exercise, is and excellent resource for the ones who suffer arthritis, show me the way to do my excercise correctly. Has been very helpful, I love it.

I highly recommend this book. It is very comprehensive. It gives a clear description of everything to learn about aqua fitness. It is an all-in-one book. And the accompanying exercises are all in colored pictures, which makes it so easy to understand how to do it. It also gives clear direction and includes safety instructions. I cannot ask for me.

Absolutely fabulous really helpful as I have just trained and started teaching Aqua exercises on a voluntary basis. Really helpful and clear diagrams and explanations. Highly recommended this book

Useful exercises

This is a very comprehensive book. I have access to a pool that is the right depth to perform the easy/med exercises. I have laminated an A4 to put at side of pool to go through a routine. I have a dodgy hip & 2 spinal discs so hope this will help me when I start soon.

Great book. Well researched. Well written. Exercises clear. Altogether well worth a buy.

All pictures are black-and-white on rough paper; the advanced exercises, past the initial stretches, are shown in small pictures with poor grayscale balance (as if they didn't want liability of strains?) Amazon sells another book "Aqua Fitness" by Mimi Rodriguez Adami, with colour pictures large enough to WOW any young teen boy with the pictures.
