Anyone want to buy their own Ryalls deep water aqua fitness belt from me? These are the yellow Australian made belts by Margaret Ryalls (Deep Water PRO instructor and Trainer) based in Sydney and made to last.
Note the foam belts are much cheaper but they can be stiff and bulky. Plus they can make you tip forward and over-extend your back and legs (especially in rock roll or tuck and roll).
Too much foam (or buoyancy) in the deep water Belt can make you bob around, and sometimes the foam belts crack at the insertion points protruding out under your arms.
Also everybody has different buoyancy, and just like shoes, YOU should try a few brands and get a feel for what works for you. Try a foam belt and compare it to another brand (ask someone if you could try their belt after class).
If interested in buying your own Ryalls yellow deep water workout belt message me privately on FB and tell me what colour did you use/trial?
Remember the belt sits on the ribs not your HIPS. Your chin should be clear of the water line and shoulders out of the water. Never let your deep water belt come up into your arm pits. Tighten it when you get in the water but don’t let it restrict your breathing. Make it feel comfortable but not tight.
Keep trying different sizes and designs and ask your instructor for help to change a belt (even mid-class). Here’s some tips…spin them round and gauge how it changes your posture.
If you are LOCAL to where I teach and interested in the yellow Ryalls Water Workout belt 🤔 let me arrange to lend you a belt next class, or I can arrange to leave in pool reception (come early to your next class get the fit right and test). Thankyou 💙⭐️
