Coming back from sciatica and working with arthritic knees this book has been a real help. I do pool arobic classes 3 days per week but use this book as a supplement for the other days. The book is easy to follow. I keep it by the pool and refer to it during my exercise hour.

I found this book very easy to comprehend and follow. The exercises and their directions are easy to understand and invision. After reading a small portion of the book I felt that this was an exercise that I could not only perform but wanted to perform.

Water Fitness After 40

I am a water fitness professional and I swear by Ruth Sova's books. Water Fitness After Forty keys on exercises to especially benefit people with age-related, health and flexibility issues (special population groups) but are suitable and equally challenging for very fit exercisers. Ms. Sova shows helpful moves that do not compromise or contra-indicate joints and muscless yet still provide a health-giving, vigorous workout. Students can key each exercise to his or her particular needs and/or range of motion limitations. Also, the book works as a stand-alone guide for exercising without the benefit of an instructor. A great asset to anyone who desires to stay fit in the aqua aerobic environment.

I'm sure the exercises in this book are fine, but I can't remember them long enough to use them in a pool. This book is useful only for those who can record the instructions and play them back when they are in the pool, or for an instructor who can use it to lead a water aerobics class. I can't judge the efficacy of the exercises but they seem OK-- when I read them. This is a waste for people like me..
