Aqua Aerobics - Water Running or Jogging

For all exercises, you would need proper warm up first. Water running is the first exercise we will start off to get our bodies warm up. You will need to start slow, picking up the momentum gradually. Once you get the momentum, you do this for at least a lap before moving to the next exercise. If it is your first time doing aqua aerobics, you will find it a bit tough. Simply because you are not use to the water resistance which you will not encounter on ground.

There is a variation for water running. Running off the floor, is where you do the running without your feet touching the floor of the pool. In order to do so, you would need your abdominal muscle to keep you afloat and lifting the feet off the floor. This will work and strengthen your core muscle.
