1FinickyOne Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 So, if you are in a pool shoulder deep, with the waters resistance - how many steps in water would equal land steps... I could only find a listing based on time in water... 5200 steps per 30 minutes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woof999 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Don't forget that water offers not only resistance but buoyancy too. It may take more work to push your legs through the water but they are supporting significant;y less weight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparktrader Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Try holding a 10kg weight above head as you walk. Great exercise. Army drill. Do as many laps as you can. Rest 60 secs, repeat 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparktrader Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Butterfly is the hardest stroke. Harder than walking if not adding weight. Do butterfly then the 10kg drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas A&M Research Laboratory has revealed that walking in water burns more calories than walking on dry land and thus, results in a greater increase in weight loss compared to when walking on dry land.28 Apr 2017 https://www.huffpost.com › entry How does exercising in water compare 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do butterfly then the 10kg drill. Not everybody can do the butterfly. Plus, for those of us with too much belly fat, it's almost impossible unless you've been doing it for a long time. (That's my experience). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geisha Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Lumbago prevents me from swimming too much as I can’t put my head underwater. ( eye allergies). But I do what I can and then exercises holding on the side wall which seem to do me a lot of good. I love aqua gym but hard to find in a group so do it myself. I often get someone joining me. Think I’ll try walking in water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FinickyOne Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 I do all sorts of maneuvers, long steps, left, right, jumps, little splits... swim a little - never put my head under water.. not sure why anyone would, can't breathe under there.
