Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'm trying to make a decision about which of these to purchase, and your input helped me understand them better.
Good stuff used for years
Do the aqua logic/strength bells float when not in use?
Briefly, then they begin to sink.
Hey Rick, How often can you use these products, plus the barbell. Every day or every other day?
Hi, you can use these everyday unless you exercise with SIGNIFICANT intensity and develop muscle soreness the next day. If so, I would recommend spacing out your workouts.
HI, Rick...overall, what is the difference or even the benefit in using Aqualogix vs. water weights (dumbbells)? Thank you.
The Aqualogix Bells take advantage of the waters properties of viscosity and drag. They provide an accommodating resistance which means the harder you push them through the water the more resistance you will receive. Water weights or foam dumbbells do not provide the same beneficial resistance.
Hi I'm a triathlete with a foot injury and I just started shallow pool running. My calf are incredibly sore from my first session, so much that I have not biked or swam in the 2 days since my aqua run. It's pretty impossible to get my full foot down onto the pool bottom. I'm just wondering if you have experienced this?
Hi, never for that long of a period. Is it one calf or both? If you are new to water running then as you know start slowly and then build up.
@@masth2o both calves. I assume it’s from pushing off the bottom with balls of my feet and leaning too far forward?
@@raeheath3414 Could be.People typically piston a little more as well. Hope you feel better.
Hey Rick, Thanks for your cool channel. I will be purchasing the Aqualogix Maximum Resistance Bells. The aqua training will be my supplement for my mma training (only martial arts classes without weight lifting). I want to stay injury free and build as much muscle as possible. Ive been lifting for 8 years with good results, but I can see my joint health declining. What can I expect? Do you think that doing water resistance training and mma will still enable me to have a ripped physique? Cheers
I think water resistance training can help you stay injury free and is a nice cross training medium for your land based activities. I think proper diet and exercise will help you with that ripped physique.
What brand are those bells?
Susan Ray they are Master Spas but there are many more brands on the market as well.
What is the cover over the swim spa?
Quictent 20'X10' Upgraded Heavy Duty Carport Car Canopy Party Tent (10x20)
Are those bells only effective for use in the h2xercise spa or can they be purchased/separately? Are there any other bells that can be used for this aqua exercise?
mork1298 they come with the spas purchase. Look at Hydrorevolution for other bells. www.hydrorevolution.com
Again, thank you for these comparisons and how you apply them. In Sweden, I can only find the AquaStrength for purchase and if I want the AquaLogic, I have to buy from America directly and the cost of added tax and import duties would be about the same or more than the cost of the items themselves. So, can I get your opinion please. I’m a larger female, with more muscle mass than average for my size, but I’m also overweight. I want to train in water, as I prefer this, I need to rebuild strength as well. Do you think the AquaStrength is still fine to start out with, as the other option would cost me double?
A Smith Bill yes, definitely. Aquastrength fins are great. Also given that water will provide greater resistance with increased speed I don’t think you can go wrong with either. I definitely understand the price point predicament. I would recommend whatever device would be cheaper for you . Hope that helps.
Rick McAvoy Aquatics thanks again, I ended up ordering the AS set directly from the States, as it ended up being almost half the price than what the one European supplier was trying to charge. I’m looking forward to dive in with them! Thanks for your videos too. Stay safe.
This was very informative for me as I’m trying to decide which version to buy as I have to import them. Thank you
Where can I find those dumb bells?
Hi Steven, Here is a link for the bells www.theraquatics.com/pair-of-hydrobells.html
These are awesome..I just bought them. They are a great creative way to hit the eccentric phase of a workout without risk of injury. Resistance behind them is much better than i expected.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01II062BO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also, i do NOT work for this company..But you can buy some velcro cinch straps, any brand and solve the plastic always slipping off your forearm. They should have thought of it, but i spent the extra 7 bucks and solved it myself
Can you use this with feet some how, to strengthen knees and hips?
Jill Kenyon No, there is no real way to attach to the legs. There are a few companies such as Aqualogix and Aquastrength that sell products that you can get lower body resistance. They can be found on amazon. Hope that helps and thanks for your question. Dr. Rick
I bought one of the push plates. Because I teach water aerobics and are always on the look out for new pieces of equipment that I can introduce to a class to make their workouts fun and enjoyable. The price was the drawback for outfitting a whole class with this push plate. I enjoyed using it one on one for myself, and would say to someone that liked to use various pieces of equipment that it was fun to put into my rotation, and did get out of it what I wanted, but again getting a POOL OR AQUATICS CENTER to supply a class of some size with these would be pricey.. But it is nice to see the faces of my workout group when I bring out pieces of equipment they have never saw before and the excitement they get wanting to get into the water and start learning how to add this to our routines. So far though I have only shown these push plates to individuals that like to workout on their own time, for them to buy themselves....
@@judymcgaugh6480 Got mine on Ebay for $10
No, you can’t. But check out the Aqua-Ohm. That works with hands and feet. And I just heard they are adding a tension bar to their line-up to make the Aqua-Ohm work with one hand too. Multi functional. I have one and it really is extremely versatile and an amazing work-out.
I want to do aquatic training , do you have to know how to swim?
hiawatha henry hi, if you want to contact me at rick@rickmcavoyaquatics.com we can discuss.
find these videos very helpful thanks
Hi Harry, thanks for the question. Unfortunately without proper assessment of the client I would not be able to issue a program. Very Sorry.
+Rick McAvoy Aquatics thanks anyway. is there any good exercise that release pain from hips?
hey rick. I have a club swimmer. who has "Unstable hips" is there any sort of specialist things I can do to help her. if you could either make a video or send me a message would be very great full
Hi Rick. What are your thoughts on pulling the thigh back as you are curling. I'm an aqua instructor & use this in my classes. I find that some participants are curled inwards due to tight HFs. Anne
Hi Anne, thank you for the question. I have have my clients make sure they can get their thigh aligned by engaging the glutes before curling. So asking them to gently extend/pull their thigh back is a great cue. Thanks again!
I have impingements in both shoulders and am considering purchasing Hydro Tone bells. Are they worth the price? Anything I should be careful of while using? I thought I might use this video as a base workout.
