What are some good exercises (I've got arthritis) you can do in the pool to shape up your thighs/legs?

Question

My joints hurt and I'd like to tone up; I heard that swimming is great for that. What are some good exercises that will tone my thighs and legs? Oh, and butt too....;-)

Answer 1

when i was in my water class about a year ago we had some water weights. we did kicks and "ski legs" where you move your legs like you are trying to ski as fast as possible.  I definitely got firm.  as for your butt try some backwards kicks one leg at a time with the water weights. Believe me, you'll feel it.

Answer 2

you can try holding onto the side of the pool and kicking your legs like your swimming that helps

Answer 3
