]]> Explore the vital aspects of Arthritis exercise, focusing on stretching and mobility techniques. This workshop engaged participation & questions from delegates. There is a live class with music which helps to enhance motivation and movement. Arthritis programs aim for pain-free movement, and equipment is tailored to individual needs (not one size fits all). Ideally this program emphasizes mobility in daily activities- off the wall for optimal balance and posture training. Water exercises provides protection from joint stress while adding multi-dimensional resistance. Communication to have everyone move at their own pace (no jumping, no fast movement, no advanced resistance or range of motion) for safety -since if they want to workout more intensely -they may choose to take another style of class. Participants engage in warm-ups, cardio, and cool-downs, ensuring a comprehensive workout experience.

]]> (46 minutes) Balance and mobility is key for health and well being. Perform a functional series of exercises that connect both mind and body with fluid movement. Qi gong can be thought of as a movement that is series of movements that work on the entire body in a flowing sequence with the breath. This is especially valuable for the aging population and helps to improve balance and breath. The key thing is to always perform the movement within your own range and ability. Judy Conley resides in Napa, California and has been a Master Trainer with WaterART for 25 years.

]]> This video will provide the how to plan a lesson plan  for everyone –and one size does not fit all . When planning a class you have to choose and teach  moves that can be adjusted to suit each individual in their preferred water depth – realizing all depths may work!

Depending upon the pool, you can choose between shallow, transitional or deep-water depths and a combination of all. Although it is preferable to keep everyone in the same class in the same depth of water this is not always possible, therefore you must be aware of the similarities and differences found at each depth and train your clients accordingly. It is possible to teach the same biomechanical moves to all clients but they must be trained to use the water safely, maintain good body alignment and perform each movement correctly. Teach the moves suitable for the class advertised, and demonstrate  the different levels of intensity and/or modifications that can be used for each water depth. Always allow your participants to choose their own level and to “work-out at their own pace”. Always remember that an instructor is responsible for everyone in the pool they teach – so making sure that the move is appropriate to the water depth. In other words you cannot jump in the deep water and all suspended movements in shallow (without buoyancy equipment) are advanced. Keep peopel moving an avoid letting people simply to hang out or chat or disrupt your classes.

]]> Master Trainer Adriana Affinito will review a check list that will help Instructors to incorporate all the parts of a good warm up and workout preparation in shallow water depth. Warming up thoroughly and properly so that all joints are ready to go without pain or wear and tear is key to both safety and efficacy. Synovial fluid is released in the joints when you move gently and in a controlled manner. Moving at a lesser intensity and range of motion will actively prepare the joints for the exercise to come.
