Anyone have any good ones? :D I'm staying at a house with a pool for a few days. Thought I'd make the most of it!

    I like water jogging in one direction, then going in the other direction against the whirlpool .

    I've been walking back & forth across the pool in chest deep water. 20 minutes forward, 20 minutes backward and 20 minutes side-step. Moving the water with arms all the time. This counts as 600 calories burned for 1 hour.

    The pool at my school has open swim hours. I'd love some ideas too!

    If it is deep enough water and you can tread well start doing modified kicks, punches, breast stroke (arms only) and what ever makes you feel like you are working. I like to tread and twist and it really works the core. Plus as you tread and do anything you give your whole body a good workout. I would only start with 15 mins and see how you feel the next day. It is harder than it feels while you do it.
