Hey everyone, so I have a possible stress fracture (getting an MRI today)in my femur, and I need tips on how to pool run in shallow water. My gym's pool only goes down to 4ft I believe (no more than 5 ft). For those of you who have done pool running, is it possible to pool run in shallow water without touching the bottom of the pool? Any input would be great.
nah you need one of those aqua joggers. Unless you're shorter than 5 ft. If you're tall you're still out of luck. Find a deeper pool.
Well, I'm 5'3" (I'm female, btw). But yeah I figured I wouldn't be able to pool run in shallow runner. I guess I'll have to swim or use the kick board.
We do a different style of aqua jogging for intervals in the pool. knees at 90 degrees and then just bring them forward and backward. You'll probably have to get more of a lean than usual but it should be alright. I'd still really recommend swimming as well as kicking.
