pool walking

Water resistance workout

Pool walking is walking in a swimming pool, typically in chest-deep water, as a form of low-impact exercise.

The water's buoyancy reduces stress on joints while its resistance provides a workout.

Physical therapists often recommend pool walking for patients recovering from injuries or managing arthritis: My doctor suggested pool walking to strengthen my knee.
