Rowing Motion With a Pool Noodle

Description

Stand and hold a pool noodle with both hands. Straighten your arms to bring the pool noodle far out in front of you, out of the water. Then push the pool noodle under the water and pull it toward your chest by bending your elbows, as in a rowing movement. Straighten your arms again and repeat the movement. Keep your back straight and control the pool noodle on the way back. Perform the number of repetitions recommended by your therapist.
