Not only is running a fantastic activity that plays an important role in strength and conditioning, but it also boosts aerobic fitness and helps to maintain overall health. However, one of the downsides of running is that, for most people, it takes a heavy toll on their body and, over time, can lead to serious long-term joint and muscle damage.  Pool running takes advantage of the benefits of running but without the impact on the body or aggravating an injury.

Pool exercises for core stability are an effective way to strengthen your body and improve your overall health. Learn more on how water workouts and clever aquatic equipment can help to strengthen your core muscles and stabilise your mid-section.

If you are looking to increase your core strength and take it to the next level, there are two key pieces of aquatic equipment you should consider adding to your workout regime; a Hydrorider RiderBand and a Hydrorider Floating Fit Mat.

Resistance bands are elastic bands that use resistance to cause muscles to contract. It’s that contraction that builds strength in the muscle.
