Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Wow, thanks Gretchen. I think this gives me plenty to start a workout. I am going to try to do a routine and get in the pool this morning! deep water running  Hi Jackie, When I run, I am in about 5 feet of water. And I jog in place facing into a 3 mph current. My arms are moving the same as they would if I ran on earth, but in the pool, they get a different workout. It's part of the cardio-aqua variation I do. And for sure I wear shoes to protect my feet! I'm not tethered to anything nor do I wear a belt. Sometimes I use a 'noodle' (foam tube) to cushion the spine. Some info below (of course this is for runners/athletes and not for CMT, but you'll get the idea. http://sportsmedicine.about.com/cs/conditioning/a/aa032002a.htm http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-263--5536-2-1-2,00.html# http://www.ehow.com/how_10340_practice-deep-water.html http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/internet/pmr/obser100.cfm http://www.totalfitnessnetwork.com/cgi-bin/totalfitnessnetwork/Deep_Water_Runnin\ g2.html Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I just " run " the length of the pool. And back. And Forth. and Back... I started out in a five foot exercise pool, but my back couldn't take the bump, bump, bump on the pool bottom. I now work in deep water and use a belt for flotation. For flexibility and to hold off boredom I use a wider stance and externally rotate my legs, almost like running in a tire drill. Over the summer a wave pool was put in, but I haven't been working out as my right leg became much weaker over the summer, and I my physical therapist at I will meet three time a week for three months to see answer the great question, " Can This Leg be Saved? " . I have copyrighted the name and hope to pitch the show to NBC as a mid-season replacement. Regards, --Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 , Be sure to use a body wash in the shower after being in the pool. This will negate any chroline effects. Is your pool indoor or outdoor? It could be a mix of chemicals that is not PH checked daily. Gretchen > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Wow! That is how i feel just walking! Using this metaphor, that of walking in water, is how I describe to people how difficult it is for me to walk across the room. I do like swimming, because those 3-D effect allows you to get into positions and do stretches that you could otherwise not do without falling over, but it's difficult for me to deal with the temperature of the water in most pools. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi , My experience with LA Fitness indoor pools is that the temperature is fairly comfortable. I believe there may be some of these near you. You may be able to try it out as a guest, if interested. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Larry, This is a yoga movement I do on my back. Very helpful in increasing the length of stride.
