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.

A great help...

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.
