Water Therapy - Tumblr Posts

The water exercise is going well. Sort of? Like it has been good for my mental health to get out of the house and into water... and it's been good to get my body moving and not have my joints scream, whole body overheat, fainting, etc.

However.... holding even the lightest water weights has been really hard on my hands. They cramp up so bad and I have to put them back like ½-¾ of the way through the session. Which sucks because other than my hands, it's a great workout!!

I can alternate how I hold/move them and work everything from my arms to my core to my legs. It's such a versatile way to keep active for me and yet my HANDS...... BETRAY ME...

I've yet to figure out a way to remedy this. But I'm still determined to go every day.

One of the days they cramped so bad I almost couldn't let go of them. That was a rough day. The next day I just used the tube so I didn't have to hold onto anything. It sucked because the tube is cumbersome and not as versatile. Suggestions very welcome 🫠
