A new StrechCordz® stretch-band was introduced to the aquatic exercise market in January.
Pool Aqua Band was developed with input from Ann Anthony, a certified aquatic trainer and inventor of Hydro-Pilates. It features exercise tubing with a cuff attached to one end and handle to the other end. It has applications in aquatic therapy and rehabilitation, water aerobics and aqua fitness programs, and dry-land resistance exercise programs.
Anthony also developed an in-water resistance exercise program for the Pool Aqua Band to improve tone and develop leg power. Her program includes knee and hip extensions, abduction and adduction lifts, and several stretching exercises. The program is available on the Hydro-Pilates website, www.hydropilates.com.
Pool Aqua is for public, private and home swimming pool use. Like all StrechCordz resistance exercise products, it is available in multiple levels of resistance distinguished by color-coded handles: blue – heavy; red – medium heavy; green – medium; yellow – light medium; and silver – light.
It is sold through an international network of dealers serving professional coaches, trainers, athletes and fitness facilities, and at many retail and online sporting goods stores. It also is available direct at www.StrechCordz.com.
