If you’re ready to jump into a new workout, try this revolutionary water routine. “The buoyancy of water lessens the pull of gravity, making you feel lighter and making balance simple, while also reducing impact on your knees,” says fitness expert Chris Freytag, who created this routine. “This makes the same moves that would be difficult to do on land feel easier in the pool.” The payoff is powerful: This workout blasts calories, tones trouble spots, and boosts muscle strength.
