Description

Place a pool noodle under your arms, with the curved part behind your back, and hold one end in each hand. Settle into a seated position in the water and engage your abdominal muscles to keep your balance. Spread your legs and the ends of the pool noodle apart at the same time, then bring them back together. Link the movements in a coordinated and controlled way. Perform the number of repetitions recommended by your therapist.
