Aqua Ball

I am always trying to create something new and fun for my Aqua ladies so, because they all enjoy taking Ball classes, I thought I would come up with something for the pool! We have the small balls that you can purchase at the dollar store (about 6 inch diameter balls) and as time goes on, the balls get softer with use. This works best with this class.

This class is a blast because the whole time, you are trying to hold on to your ball and they become quite slippery when wet! Make sure you keep the ball under water as much as possible for the best cardio workout!

Here are the combos:

Combo 1:

• Both hands on the ball, swing the ball side to side (under the water) and jog with feet together (move this jog to the side) 4 counts.
• Jog wide and pull the ball in and away from the stomache (under water) 4 counts. *jog to the other side again

Combo 2:

• Kick and push ball towards the toes on a diagonal
• Pendulum and swing the ball side-to-side in front of you with one hand
• **Move this pattern -
• Forward to the other side of the pool with the kicks (kick and turn to face the opposite wall once you get there)
• Hold and pendulum swing the ball with one hand
• Kick again to the other side of the pool, turn and switch hands for the single arm pendulum/ball swing

Combo 3:

• Knee lift (ball is under water again going towards opposite knees)
• Double hop knee up
• Now double hop knee up and use your hand to push the ball under the knee while hopping. Do this under each knee (this one is tough!)

Combo 4:

• Jumping jacks and throw the ball in the air and catch it while jacking (8 times)
• Place the ball between the thighs (SQUEEZE) and bunny hop to the other side of the pool.
• Hop backwards and back to the jumping jacks. Repeat

Combo 5:

• Football run to the side (legs wide) and grab the ball - squeeze with both hands
• When you get to the side, jump up and pretend to dunk the ball into a basketball net

*This combo really gets the heart pumping!

Like I said, this class is a blast! Have fun with it and your members will feel young again!!
