You need to always stretch before you begin any exercise routine even if it is water exercises. This will help to avoid causing damage to your muscles. Doing stretching exercising in water is great for your body and it will help your muscles to become more flexible and stronger. Remember to always exhale when you extend your arms and exhale when you are bringing them back in toward your body. Wall exercises are easy to perform when in water because the resistance provided by the water will help strengthen your muscles without straining them and causing damage to your body.
