Hi, this is Chad Wyatt, over at North Chase pool, and today we're gonna talk about exercise you can do in the water to strengthen your abs. First exercise we're gonna talk about is jogging. Jogging in the water while squeezing your core muscles is an excellent exercise to maintain and build ab muscles. Second one we're gonna talk about is doing crunches with water weights. You're gonna take the water weights, place them under your arms, and simulate a crunch that you would do outside of the water, but in the water. Next exercise we're gonna do is butterfly kick on your back. When doing this exercise, you want to make sure you're laying flat on your back with a kickboard above your head. Next you're gonna wanna keep your feet close together, and rotate out your hips while bending at the knees, moving your legs in an up and down motion. And that is how you do butterfly kick on your back. And those are three exercises you can do in the pool to help maintain and build your abs. Butterfly kick on your back, treading water and aqua jogging.
