Man, this week I did two hour long sessions of deep water running. at first I thought I would look like a dumba$$ out there...but after 20 minutes I knew I was getting an awesome workout!
These two simulated runs have been butt kickers! Sure, you make as most out of it as you want...
It sure did make me appreciate water aerobics (or at least those who are really working it!)
*Shaky--don't you dare say that I've gone to the dark side.

HI Babs,
No lesson...someone tipped me off to deep water running because my knee hurt. So, I grabbed a belt and did it. It's really a terrific workout because it not only simulates running, but it also encourages your heart to produce more blood.
but, when I was DWR, there was a lady about 75 years old who was in a personal training session with an instructor. They had resitance gloves on, as well as some kind of boots--they were really working it. Plus there are dumbbells, so you can even do exercises with your arms, etc.
It's much harder than it looks--believe me. I was a huge skeptic, and tried DWR out of desperation. REAL water aerobics looks just as challenging--a person gets out what they put in.
It's good stuff!
