£30 is a lot of money
@robynhood, but I would like to do it just once, trouble is it's a long way from home, I will have to make another trip to that part of the world.
Hi
@cafecortado,
@dogwheels is really the person to ask about pool exercises, she gave me a whole list, but I'll make a start here and hope she will add to them when she sees this post.
I start off with walking up and down (in the learner pool) to warm up, sideways, then backwards, then mini lunges with each step. I stand at the side and do some squats and then rise up on to my toes, I use one of those long foam floats and lie on my back and kick up and down, I support myself in the corner of the pool and 'cycle',
I use the pool steps ( big wide ones, not the metal steps) to do some lunges, then the fun starts - I attempt to put arm bands on both ankles (take care here - it is easy to fall and nearly drown, believe me - I've done it!) then stand holding the bar let one foot bend upwards and hold for ten secs, then push down forcefully,repeat several times. Still with the bands on do some kicking, some walking,some leg swinging ( front to back, sideways)
I'm sure I've forgotten lots, but that should get you started. I don't know whether you have a spa in your pool, but the best bit is relaxing afterwards in the jacuzzi, letting the jets of water massage the knee. I use the sauna and steam rooms as well, the heat does help,to relax the muscles to help,with stretching.
Have fun xxx
