I like to call this one underwater hopscotch. You're going to pretend there's a line in front of you. You can use the lines in the pool, or it can be an imaginary line. We're going to start feet almost shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent, jump over that line, and jump back. Over, and back. Make sure that you really bring your knees up when you're in the water for ab workout. To mix it up, turn sideways, next to your imaginary line, and jump over, and back sideways. Try it in the water. You've even got a line. Jumping back and forth across the line is a great way to work your legs, gluts and your abs. I'm lucky enough to have a line in my pool. So I'm jumping over the line, and back over the line. Notice how I'm using my arms also to help propel me. This can be an upper body workout as well. So after I'm done playing hopscotch over the line, I can turn sideways and do a side jump over the line. Again, notice how I'm bringing my knees up and down. By bringing my knees up, I'm working my abs. To burn added challenge, switch it up every four jumps.
