What makes pool exercises the best option for someone with weak muscles?

Buoyancy: You are more buoyant in water thus taking weight of joints as you exercise. On the flip side water provides some nice resistance to increase muscle strength further supporting your joints.

Whole-body excercise: Being in a pool enables you to reduce the stress on your "weight-bearing muscles and joints, and gently use muscles that often don't get used when standing on land. In this way, you can spread the load by strengthening not only primary muscles but also secondary muscles, improving overall function by strengthening the structure.
