Pool Running

[Sebass67]

I went to the pool today and had a friend show me how to "run" across the pool in the deep end. She showed me some sprints as well.

What are some of the benefits of this kind of work?

Great cardio workout without all the stress on your joints.....

also there maybe some benefit for those trying to increase their speed. it's similar to running with those mini parachutes on your back.

Hmmmmm, I hadn't considered this. The pool at my fitness center is a lap pool and only about 3-4 feet deep. I could just "run" laps.

Thanks for the thought. Good post.
