Pool Excersises?

So I am curious if doing excersise in the pool is as effective if not better than doing it out. Things like jumping jacks, Tri-cep dips, crunches, squats jogging in place. I love being in the water and for me I feel like just moving around in the water and doing some of the above mentioned excersises give me more of a workout, but I could be wrong, also how do u log these types of things you do in the pool? well I am off to cool down and get moving!

    Hi Becca - just found you here :) I just came back from the pool and was wondering the same thing. Since I've gotten heavier I think the pool is a great way to take pressure off my joints and keep me healthy enough to do an exercise routine. I don't know if I feel like the pool workout is more effective than one out of water, but I don't think it's less effective and in this weather it's certainly a welcome way to cool off!

    Pool exercising can be as effective (or more), but you've really got to work. I try to work in laps at least once a week.

    I wish I could do laps, i have a 12x4 ft pool so I cant exzctly do them in my pool. But it serves it's purpose to keep us cool and give us fun.

    I did water aerobics for a while and it was a GREAT workout. Maybe google or youtube it and see what they suggest and make your own routine.

    It's awesome!

    I found it was fun and better on my back. I don't know if it is the same or more workout, but to me it is better to move around than to not. :)
