Travel Series with weights--great arm workout
This is an
Aquatic pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 16957)
I teach shallow water aqua from the deck because my class is very large. [=====] My class works in 2 lines for this. The groups will travel in a large ovals with slower students toward the end of the line. After you complete one lap across the shallow end and back, move to the next exercise without stopping.
With weights in each hand, move across of the pool doing:
- Jacks (cue abs tight, resist buoyancy by controlling arms--don't let them float back up)
- Star jacks (arms out in front, pull both arms to thighs and back to surface [like x-country] with jack legs
- Tuck jumps (cue knees to chest going down, and jump for distance coming back while pushing weights down to ankles)
- Mogul ski (knees side to side) try to get some height
- x-country (cue abs tight to support back) pull weights to thighs and bring them slowly to the surface--don't let them pop back up
- Double time jog (cue weights up and down, knees up, full flat foot)
- Swim (put the weights between your thighs [like a pull buoy] and breast-stroke down and back)--arms only here
