Moving in the water 💧
Water exercises can be so helpful if your joints are feeling extra sensitive or you’re looking to build some confidence for land movements 🙌🏼
Water offloads some bodyweight so your joints are able to move more freely ☝🏽
I love using combination movements so you can work both upper body and lower body at the same time. And you know, variety is one of the most important aspects as well‼️
Moving sideways and backwards are great ways to take advantage of the water and improve joint mobility ↔️⬇️
It is crucial to continue to add land based movements into your routine as you’re able to tolerate them because well, we live on land 🙌🏼
Even just mixing in simple movements in your house can be one way to start bringing in land based movements 😇
For example, sideways and/or backwards walking down the hallway, standing up a few extra times from a chair, or doing some heel raises with some knee bends are all simple examples that can go a long way ✅
Water exercises can be fabulous but I want you to ask yourself- how are you also incorporating land based exercise ☝🏽
