Millions of people use hot tubs to relax or warm their cold bodies, but now the engineers at bodybuildinginwater.com have a new use for hot tubs, muscle building and restoring.
Over the last 11 years they have developed hundreds of new water exercises based on their 'direct resistance delivery' concept, and some of these extremely effective exercises, also work well while sitting in a hot tub.
The exercises they are now discussing for hot tubs, are ones that are very effective for older, obese or motion hindered people. They say these same exercises can still easily 'fail' an athlete's muscles, because they are not hindered by joint strength, the athlete can still push them with full muscle exertion.
They do warn, "if you jump into your hot tub for a core, cardio and body workout it should not be warmer then 90°F, as that takes 8-15 minutes."
"But if you only want to greatly strengthen your tired or damaged knees, the 'Knee Fixer™ only takes about one minute, two or three times a week, so a hot tub should be no problem".
They assume your doctors have also approved, as they tell everyone not to try any of their exercises or devices until they have your doctor's blessing.
'Direct Resistance Delivery' means these methods were engineered to direct almost all motion resistance against muscle contractions, leaving almost no force to compress joints or vertebra.
On the home page of bodybuildinginwater.com, you will find 7 video classes of these newly engineered water exercises, and here are a few they say also work well to great in hot tubs.
Their second video has several, one is that Knee Fixer, which works perfectly in hot tubs and can revive old knee muscle strength after 3, one minute workouts, over six days.
Their Stride Stretcher also works well for reviving lost core strength, as log as the tub has enough room for good hip motion range. This exercise can deeply exercise the leg and core muscles of virtually anyone from athletes to the disabled.
For the chest, the Chest Clapper from Video five, as well as both bicep and tricep curl exercises from video six, may also be adapted to hot tubs.
They said "We have many other exercises that work well in hot tubs that we have not yet posted, so we plan on doing a hot tub workout video eventually.
But that knee fixer is perfect for hot tubs which has already made it a big blessing for a lot of older or mobility hindered knees around here."
However the hot tub does limit some motion range compared to the pool, but if the tub is what you have, these resistance focused exercises work.
