Flutter Kicks and Lateral Arm Raises

Description

Sit in the middle of a pool noodle and hold a water weight in each hand. Perform small, quick, alternating flutter kicks with your legs to keep your balance. At the same time, raise your straight arms out to the sides up to the surface of the water, then bring them back down to your sides. Keep your back straight and your abdominals contracted, and breathe steadily. Perform the exercise for the duration recommended by your therapist.
