Single Leg Deadlift With Aqua Dumbbells

​In this exercise, we will use aqua dumbbells to perform a single-leg deadlift. This exercise is challenging and requires high core strength, as well as balance and coordination. 

 

The Single Leg Deadlift is an exercise that can be done both on land and in the water to help improve balance and strength. The land version offers a greater challenge and resistance, while the water version is easier and more enjoyable. Furthermore, the aqua deadlift targets different muscle groups than its land counterpart.
