Linda Chopra, Cleveland Heights-University Heights P.L., Ohio said that water-workout pioneer Huey maintains that water training provides all the benefits of more strenuous forms of exercise without the risk of injury because water supports the body while providing resistance to body movement. These features make water training a versatile form of workout that almost everyone (from runners and weight trainers to senior citizens and pregnant women) can enjoy. Designed for people wishing to vary their workouts and for those recovering from injuries, this usegul guide offers an impressive range of exercise programs--emphasizing balanced strength, aerobic and anaerobic fitness, and flexibility--in deep and shallow water for both swimmers and nonswimmers. Clear, brief instructions are given for each of the workout programs--waterpower, deep waterpower, dance-specific, sport-specific, and lower-body, upper-body, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Recommended for both lay readers and specialists. This book is the one and only book people need to plunge into the fitness wave of the decade, by the leader in water excerciseand an internationally respected sports physical therapist.
