4. Water treading
Even Father Kneipp knew: that treading water or a leg cast gently exercises the vessels and can promote blood circulation in the legs.
Working out in water allows joints to move freely without impact while core body temperature stays regulated. Water’s buoyancy supports muscles through a full range of motion to efficiently pump blood throughout the entire body.
Studies found water exercise boosted cardiorespiratory fitness with fewer reported injuries versus land workouts. Gentle water walking, jogging or swimming provides steady heart-pumping circulation enhancement while relieving symptoms of arthritis, injury, or obesity.
