More Details About This Video:
Once you have mastered the walking exercises, you can add speed and use equipment to give you more resistance through the water. Today I am going to show you some jogging exercises with a kickboard. Put the kickboard halfway into the water to start off.

The first exercise is jogging forward. As you are jogging, push and pull the kickboard in front of you. The faster you push and the faster you jog, the more resistance you will get, making it harder. Then turn around and go backwards. Continue to push and pull the kickboard as you are jogging backwards. Finally, put your arm straight out to the side. Put the kickboard in front of your arm, and try to keep your body facing forward. Jog forward, and try not to let the resistance of the kickboard twist or turn your body. Switch sides coming back. This is a great core workout.
