Additional Notes:
Two things set this video apart from other aquatic workouts. First, it takes interval training and puts it in the water, something fairly unique. Also, Karen focuses on plyometric training. This is a great fit for water, as there is little stress on joints, but actually more resistance. So for athletes who are looking to improve that skill in their sport, this video will be very beneficial.
