Book Description
Water exercise is excellent for physical therapy and fitness because it enhances range of motion and eases pain of movement. This book makes it easy for you to design your own water exercise program, whether for injury rehabilitation, special conditions, cross-training, or just shaping up.

Water Exercise features 78 clearly described and illustrated exercises that range from beginning to advanced levels of difficulty. The book also provides complete exercise programs for specific injuries and conditions as well as for improved fitness. You can tailor each program to suit your own needs so, no matter what exercise program you choose, you’ll start at the appropriate level and progress safely into more challenging movements.

Great book!  
This book has done wonders for me. I have a bad back and I am currently in physical therapy. I brought this book to my doctor and he highlighted the exercises that I should do and told me the ones I shouldn't. It's really nice to exercise the CORRECT way in the pool.

WATER EXERCISE MADE EASY  
We havet a lap pool in our home and actually wanted DVD to show us a few acqua exercises that would suit our needs (sports and medical injury), but as no DVD exists we searched for a book. There are many to choose from and in "reading through" some of them, decided on the Water Exercise because it covered a multitude of health needs. When it arrived we were pleased as it is extremely easy to follow and the illustrations are very helpful. We made the right decision!

This book was fantastic. It has great exercises and therapy exercises for the water. I use them all the time now. I would buy it again if I had too.

pros and cons  
The book is written simply and effectively in helping you understand how to do the exercise and the illustrations are good but I was surprised when I got it to see how many required equipment (like little hand paddles). I was hoping for just straight exercises with little to no pool aids needed. Otherwise it was good.
