I love this piece of equiptment because I can use it to work my biceps, triceps, abdominals, back and shoulders. The user must have some understanding about aqua exercise to know how to use this because it doesn't come with any instructions. I liked that I could change the resistence from lighter to harder to expand my work out.
I used this product the first time during physical therapy. Now I have my own and can do it at my gym. They are fantastic and are really helping with strengthening my arms and aleviating my shoulder pain.
I need for pool excercise for injury. Works fine. It is adjustable which helps.
This is my 3rd pair in the last 17 years, they are so versatile for all upper body exercise - you can create your own moves for individualized needs.
I am very happy with my paddles. I really like the bag they come in as it makes it easier to take them to the gym. I like the adaptability the paddles offer you and I now have less stress on my shoulders and wrists. The doctor recommended water aerobics and I recommend the paddles!Next step - finding a good book with additional exercises with the paddle.
I teach water aerobics and love the fact that you can vary the intesity by closing the paddles. Also love that they are easier to carry and do not get moldy like the foam ones.
