Lunge forward uppercut
This exercise is performed either travelling, or stationary with
alternate legs. The hip drive motion starts on one side and finishes
on the opposite shoulder. A great flowing movement, the extra drag
and resistance of the water really increase the challenge.
Squat rotational reach
This exercise is a simulated long reach block with a rotation of the
hips across the body and a reach finish with the ViPR parallel to
the body. In the water this exercise can be performed stationary,
alternating sides, or travelling and adding intensity with the greater
resistance of force, drag and buoyancy.
