    General Guidelines (from Thera-Band Aqua Fun and Function Book):

  • All products are primarily used for upper body strengthening, but there are many possibilities to create new exercises.                                           The important thing in holding this or any other piece of equipment is that the hand and forearm are maintained in                                                 neutral alignment.  A straight line between the hand and the forearm should be maintained without flexing or hyperextending at the wrist.  

  • The equipment can be held in different ways: 

           A Hand Bar in each hand with the grip in the center of the bar

    Hand on the "weights" using only one Hand Bar

    Hand on external knobs, using only one Hand Bar

    Position the bars under the arms (provides flotation for relaxation or isolated leg exercises)

  • Who can use it?  Anyone who would like to increase their general fitness level by increasing the intensity of the exercise program.  These pieces of equipment primarily work against the force of buoyancy.  However, they can also be moved through the water creating resistance from the drag forces based on the position of the equipment and the frontal surface area.  This makes them ideal to increase the intensity of the exercise program

  • Who should not use them?  People beginning an aquatic fitness program should only use this equipment if they have the trunk stability to control the equipment rather than the equipment controlling them
