The resistance of water flow is 800 times that of air. In underwater fitness, you will feel that every movement of the current is impacting your body, and the calories consumed will be higher than the effect of daily fitness. These seven simple underwater fitness movements only take 30 minutes to complete in water less than 1 meter deep. Even if you can't swim, you can burn calories to the maximum under water. The specific method is as follows:

warm up

Take a walk in the water for 5 minutes, or lift your legs high and stand still for 3 minutes to warm your whole body. An action is repeated three times, with each rest 15 seconds.

If you want to improve the intensity of exercise and burn calories faster, stick to lifting your legs for 3 minutes after every two exercises. Repeat the whole set of movements three days a week, and you will soon get rid of the fat.

Supporting movement

Key exercise parts: chest, back, triceps brachii and shoulders.

The first step is to put your palm flat on the edge of the pool or grab the drain. Make sure your arms can support your weight, jump up gently, straighten your arms and hold this position for a few seconds.

Step 2: Bend your elbow and bend your arm, and press down slowly until your elbow forms 90 degrees. Don't let your feet touch the bottom of the swimming pool. Up and down 10 ~ 20 times.

Chest expansion exercise

Key exercise parts: strengthen biceps and triceps.

The first step is to stand with your legs apart, and then squat down slightly, partially drowning your shoulders. The arm is raised and bent, the palm is inward, parallel to the chest, about 10 cm away from the chest, and the fingertips touch.

Step 2: Open your arms, move your hand joints outward, palms outward, open your arms, and your hands are parallel to the bottom of the pool. Bend your elbow again and complete a set of actions. Repeat 20 times.

The first step is to stand by the pool with your legs together, stretch your arms and hold the pool with one hand to keep your body balanced.

Step two, bend your left knee and try to touch your heel with your ass. Then put it down and repeat this action with your right foot. Repeat 20 times.

Step 2: Lift your legs together, so that your body and legs form a V-shape. Pay attention to stand on tiptoe to ensure that your lower body is always in a straight line. Lower your legs and return to the starting position. Repeat 10 ~ 20 times.

Scissors legs

Key exercise areas: thighs, buttocks and abdominal muscles.
