Fumbling about.
Most every day other than Sunday I work out in the pool using resistance training equipment purchased on Amazon from, or purchased directly from, Hydrorevolution.
Today I used a pair of Aquastrength Aquatic Training Dumbbells. I have the range of Hydrorevolution equipment. This pair of dumbbells provides perhaps the most resistance meaning it is the "heaviest" of the equipment I use.
Today's exercises in the water included
- Walking in the water, frontwards and backwards, pushing or pulling the weight. ~3 minutes, as a warmup.
- Squats coupled with benchpresses. #150
- Deadlifts. #50
- Deadlift/squats with a jump. #20
- Benchpresses. #150
- Supported benchpresses (back against a seat so no using my core much). #50
- Ys and Ts. A couple of minutes or so.
- Others.
In aggregate, this was a killer 30 minute workout. I've been doing water resistance training regularly and consistently for a long enough time to be able to push the limits. According to my experience, and to what Hydrorevolution publishes on their website, 30 minutes of this workout is equivalent to two hours of land based exercise.
Happy shaves,

Got a little early morning cardio in today. About 3 inches of fluffy, but also sticky, snow. Just enough to get the blood flowing.
What is this stuff y’all call SNOW?
We're asking the same thing, haven't had any to speak of all season.
Weights today: chest and core focus.
35-minute zone 2 on the treadmill today. Would rather have been outside, but a bit rainy today.
Various stretches worked in with 2 cycles of 12 reps of various exercises; e.g., crunches, pushups, planks.
Shoveled some of that stuff called snow.

Gym day.
3x8 of Nautilus chest press, pulldown, leg curl, back extension, shoulder press, row, leg press. That should cover the bases!
Once the rain clears I see some nice walks with and without the pooch. Maybe a little March Madness.
Stay healthy!

In the pool as usual for half an hour. Today's weapons of choice were my Hydro-Tone Barbell and the two Hydo-Bells. All sorts of resistance exercises were accomplished. My daily workouts with gear like this has convinced me that this is a super efficient and highly effective exercise system, but I do it because I like it. Of course, I love the benefits!
Happy shaves,
Jim

Weights today: lower body and core focus.
4+mile/60-minute walk on our local trails. Sunny and 57 F today, so the walk was really nice.
Shoulders are a bit inflamed today from yesterday's higher volume session. I sometimes forget why I went to single sets and/or resistance bands.

I did a 7-mile run, with my fastest 10k to date at 58:45. Four days off did wonders for heavy legs.
