AquaBike
Pedaling an exercise bike set in a pool with the water up to the chest; the water resists every stroke.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on a pool bike, water at chest height, hands on the handlebar, back tall.
Steps
- Pedal in smooth, even circles.
- Keep the trunk upright and the shoulders relaxed.
- Raise or lower the cadence to set the effort.
Common mistakes
Seat set too low: the knee stays slightly bent at the bottom of the stroke. Hunching over the handlebar: sit tall, chest up. Pushing only down: drive the pedal all the way round.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
