Deep water jogging is done in a deep pool, without your feet touching the pool surface. You can use a floating belt to float on the surface of the pool to make your jogging easier. In such an exercise, there is absolutely no contact between you and the surface of the pool, which makes the jogging perfect for people with sore knees. To perform the deep water jogging properly, lean a bit forward in the water, avoiding the straight up-and-down posture, as it would not have a proper impact. Once in motion, start the jogging action by bringing the knees up and down as in regular jogging. While moving your knees, pump your arms along with your fists closed. This exercise will have a higher impact on your muscles.
