Gaines presents a water aerobics program based on a series of 90 pool exercises, which offer a new fitness alternative combining excellent conditioning with relatively stress-free impact on muscles and joints. The author, an applied exercise physiologist and teacher, covers all aspects of the water workout, from warmups and cool downs, muscle toning and conditioning, to peak intensity aerobics using flotation devices.
