Deep Water Running
It's time to get that swimsuit out of mothballs! Deep water running can allow you to continue working out despite conditions like tendonitis, fractures, even simple sprains and strains.
Here's how it works: put a flotation device around your waist. Find a pool deep enough so that your feet don't touch the bottom. Use a natural running motion and slice your hands through the water. The most effective workouts are achieved with extended workouts of 30-minutes or more; or a short sprint with one minute rests in between.
So, the next time someone says you can't get in a good workout when injured, tell him or her they're all wet!
