1. Jog-In-Place
This is a great warm-up exercise! At a similar pace to a jog, try standing upright and lifting one leg after the other, while bringing your knees up as high as possible. Start slow, and increase the pace to a quick jog if you feel comfortable.
2. Reverse Jog-In-Place
Did you know that walking or jogging in reverse engages more muscles than going forward? Now you know, you’ll want to repeat the steps as above, except this time you will have your back to the jets. Keep the current low, increasing the intensity as required.
3. Bicycle
Simulate the experience of riding a bicycle, while holding onto the edge of your all-season pool.
Bring your legs up just under the surface of the water and pedal for one to two minutes, or until you really feel the burn.
4. Swimming Laps
