From Library Journal
Because water supports the body while providing resistance to body movement, water-workout pioneer Huey maintains that water training provides all the benefits of more strenuous forms of exercise without the risk of injury. These features make water training a versatile form of exercise that almost everyone (from runners and weight trainers to senior citizens and pregnant women) can enjoy. Designed for people wishing to vary their workouts and for those recovering from injuries, this definitive guide offers an impressive range of exercise programs--emphasizing balanced strength, aerobic and anaerobic fitness, and flexibility--in deep and shallow water for both swimmers and nonswimmers. Clear, concise instructions are given for each of the workout programs--waterpower, deep waterpower, dance-specific, sport-specific, and lower-body, upper-body, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Recommended for both lay readers and specialists. (Photographs not seen.)-- Linda Chopra, Cleveland Heights-University Heights P.L., Ohio

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book,
By Marjorie Roswell (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Waterpower Workout Book: Programs for Fitness, Injury Prevention, and Healing (Paperback)
The best parts of this book are the detailed photographs of all the exercises, included in both a large format (one per page) and a small format (so that you can see many exercises per page). The only thing that would make the book even better would be if the small photographs were offered separately on water-resistant material, so that you could bring 'em into the pool. I'll probably photocopy those pages, and laminate them, so that I can do that. The book has a helpful appendix of commercial resources with products such as an in-pool exercise station, and Aqua Tunes. Some of the companies appear to have gone out of business in the 11 years since the book was first published--to be expected. By the way, the average rating here would be 5, but one reviewer apparently forgot to add the star rating, while still offering the book a glowing review.

Fabulous! Thank goodness I found this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Waterpower Workout Book: Programs for Fitness, Injury Prevention, and Healing (Paperback)
I had a devastating knee injury about five and one half months ago (the doctor stated that I may never be able to obtain my pre-injury range of motion)The traditional rehab was going very slowly and very painfully. I asked my physician if I could exercise in the water, and after his approval, I started with the workouts in this book along with my prescribed rehab. I have gained 80% of my pre-injury range of motion and on a good start with my strength and balance with VERY little pain!! My physical therapist said I started improving much more rapidly after starting the water workouts and I have already exceeded the expected post-operative range of motion. I could not have done it without the water workouts!!

Excellent for athletes who need rehab.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Waterpower Workout Book: Programs for Fitness, Injury Prevention, and Healing (Paperback)
I am a physician and experienced athlete. When injured, this book allowed me to find a way to continue to exercise and recover as best I could from a devastating injury. It is easiest to understand if one has some athletic or fitness background. The author obviously understands the healing process very well. Take this book to your orthopedist!
