Description of exercise Pool press ups, also known as water push-ups, are a variation of the traditional push-up exercise performed in a pool. This exercise utilizes the resistance of the water to increase the intensity and effectiveness of the movement. To perform pool press ups, one must stand in waist-deep water and place their hands on the edge of the pool. They then push their body up and out of the water, similar to a regular push-up. The water adds an extra challenge as it requires more effort to push against, making it a great full-body workout. This exercise helps to strengthen the arms, chest, shoulders, and core, while also improving balance and coordination. It is a low-impact exercise, making it suitable for all fitness levels.
