The Aquatoner can be used for aerobic fitness, power, and muscle endurance training

A new method of developing and maintaining muscle strength and conditioning, the Aquatoner is a recent birth in physical fitness - a swimming pool accessory that offers water aerobic exercise as well as body building strength.  It moves underwater, changes shape, makes waves, and gives a person a challenge.  Movements are more free and natural than they are in the confined limitations of exercise machines or under the strict control of gravity.  Most new and old methods of exercise can supplement each other.

The advantages of aquatic therapy over land based therapy are well known in the physical therapy industry.  Aquatic therapy is so beneficial that it is often the for most modality utilized by a therapist for patients with limited rehabilitation options and compromised range of motion.
Important advantages are: the ability to safely abort a movement when necessary, directional freedom, iso-kinetic control, the elimination of body weight, and rapid progress.

Therapists that are most successful in securing adequate reimbursement by third party payers maintain the most accurate and detailed documentation, perform frequent evaluations, and use professional aquatic therapy equipment that is adaptable and measurable to help calculate all aspects of progress for complete documentation.

The simplicity of this exercise product is deceiving.  In the water the Aquatoner slightly floats, just enough so that it doesn't get lost.  When boxing in the water with two Aquatoners, the turbulence can travel throughout the entire pool.  The product can also be used like a bicycle when using a flotation belt.  Before Mohammed Ali was the World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, when he was Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. just out of the Army, he trained and boxed in water (Life Magazine 1961 "A Wet Way To Train For a Fight").
     
Affordably priced and efficiently designed for high performance, durability and quality, the Aquatoner is a new generation in exercise equipment.  A single Aquatoner in the pool can work the muscles and joints of the lower, middle, and upper body with control and freedom of natural movements without limitations, in a three dimensional source of resistance, water.

There are exercises that isolate the most gentle rehabilitation or exercises that use the intensity of nearly all muscle groups at one time without stress on the joints.  

The Aquatoner is incredibly effective, a revolution in exercise equipment, and a significant advancement in physical therapy.
