If you’ve ever tried to run in a pool you know how strong water’s resistance can be. Add a weight (or boulder, as the guards do) and it’s downright killer for your legs and glutes.THE LEAD-UP: Start by running in the shallow-end of the pool, so your head is above water. Next, try it in the deep end, taking a deep breath as you go underwater and slowly exhaling as you jog. If you’re comfortable, you’re ready to try it with a weight.DO IT: First, make sure you have someone with you for safety. Place a weight on the bottom of the pool. Jump or dive in, hold the weight close to your chest, and start jogging. When you feel like you’re running out of air, put down the weight, and return to the surface.<style>
