Elbows up! Kick, Punch and Crunch with Melissa Plumeau is an effective way to target legs, arms and abs with three class segments. This express 20-minute water fitness instructor video can include optional drag equipment for the upper and lower body segments, and a small ball for the abs segment, but equipment is not necessary.
CLASS-AT-A-GLANCE
This instructor video does not include a warm-up or cool down because this express content is designed to be used as a segment or segments in a regular aquatic fitness class. The action is broken into three segments.
Class Segment 1: Kicks
This class segment includes six innovative kick-themed exercises that target the legs. Each of the kicks is performed for 30 seconds, followed by 15 seconds of recovery. The six kicks are then repeated a second time. Equipment is not required; however, the Aqualogix Lower Body Drag Resistance Ankle Fins can be worn if your facility has them
Class Segment 2: Punches
In this segment, two punch combinations are instructed for 2 minutes each, with a 30 second recovery between them. Equipment is not required, but webbed gloves or Aqualogix Upper Body Drag Resistance can be used.
Class Segment 3: Crunches
In this segment, three crunch combos are performed for 45 seconds each, followed by 15 seconds of recovery. A small ball is used for the abs segment, but a flotation belt or noodle can be substituted.
