Never use regular land-based weight in the water. The use of flotation devices may be used to increase buoyancy may help to compensate for reduced natural buoyancy. However, using buoyancy devices below the waist can result in an unstable condition. A user with too much buoyancy at the ankle level may find it difficult to maintain an upright position (e.g. ankle cuffs). Water Barbells are small foam barbells, which increase the resistance as you move your arms through the water and are not meant to be the sole means of flotation in deep water.
This is a list of some common types of equipment you may find at your pool:
This is a list of some common types of equipment you may find at your pool:
Aqua Step - used to perform step aerobics in the water using a special non-skid surface
Flotation Belts - attached to waist to provide additional buoyancy allowing you to increase your range of
motion and work more muscles
Gyro Joggers - two foam rubber circles worn on the wrists or ankles to increase water resistance
Hand Webs - webbed gloves used to increase water resistance
Kickboards - used to provide extra buoyancy allowing you to increase your range of motion and work
more muscles
Water Noodles - are long cylinders of foam that can provide increased buoyancy and increased resistance
