Product Description
From Amazon
There's a lot of mythology surrounding swimming and water exercises: that water work is only for senior citizens, arthritis sufferers and rehabbing professional athletes; that it's not an efficient way to build cardiovascular endurance or burn fat; that it's inferior to land-based exercise programs like running and weight training. Water Workouts not only attacks those myths, it shows how to use a swimming pool and a few pieces of equipment to improve everything: strength, endurance, flexibility, muscularity. If you don't mind getting wet, this is one of the best workout manuals you'll find.
Book Description
This pathbreaking look at aqua aerobics, deep-water running, and swimming for all fitness enthusiasts includes information on equipment, technique, workouts, and rehabilitation, plus guidelines on heart rate monitoring, nutrition, and flexibility, and strength. 50 line drawings.

The first book on water exercise that truly makes sense.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Water Workouts: A Guide to Fitness, Training, and Performance Enhancement in the Water (Paperback)
A well-written first person summary from two authors who are authorities in water exercise, one a swimming coach and triathlete, the other a Harvard sports medicine surgeon. A concise description of what is medically and scientifically sound for water exercise, yet dispersed with real-life exercises and experiences. There are many mentions of their experiences in the water with famous athletes and details of what works for them. There is a very informative guide at the end which explains their philosophy on nutrition, aerobic exercise and flexibility. It is an inspirational reading on a topic which needs more authority. I want to read the next book they write together! It is easy and informative reading, and a must for both the serious athlete and the athlete looking for a tough workout in a forgiving environment.
