I was recently reading and article online that mentioned aquajogging was great for those who can’t take the impact of hard surface running. With my PF healing right now this sounds like a good deal. Anyone do aquajogging or has tried it? Thought, tips suggestions???

I was thinking about trying it in the shallow area on Sunday. Since I don’t have a float to use, do you think that’s as good?

I think there’s some actual impact in the shallow end. But I think they may have some floaties at the pool.

Well, one word of advice on aquajogging. If you’re borrowing a floaty belt from the pool-Be careful! I ended up with a crazy rash around my midsection. Noticed Monday, looked like chicken pox, but is mostly gone today. Need to bring wipes next time.

Crazy, Jenn! Makes me all the happier my suit covers my tummy. Guess that answers the question about a pool killing germs.

I’ve been wondering about this myself.  The pool at the fitness center doesn’t have a really “deep” end… I’m 5’2 and the deepest part comes up to my chin.  I’ve been exercising in the pool this past month (jogging across and back, jumping jacks with pool hand weights, other exercises) and I have found it to be so much easier on my knees.  I still come away feeling like I’ve done something really good for my body without my knees screaming at me till the end of time!
