I recently found a program in New York at Aqua Studio in Tribeca that I found extremely interesting. At $40 per class one can participate in Aqua Spinning. Taking the impact out and allowing for injuries, the pool is a great place to do some cardio.
The reason this was so intriguing to ME is that I have been Aqua Jogging for 2 years and loving it.
If anyone has access to a pool-I strongly recommend Aqua Jogging. The cardio benefits are amazing for anyone who either 1) loves the water or 2) has trouble doing cardio due to restrictions imposed by painful joints or painful feet. Jogging in deep water requires equipment which is very inexpensive as opposed to a specially outfitted bike for Aqua Spinning.
I discovered Aqua Jogging when I had a bout of Plantar Fasciitis. I could barely walk and couldn't do Cardio. In the pool I would Jog at least 3or 4 times a week. The movement cured my Plantar Fasciitis, and I found the cardio quite enjoyable.
The most fun is listening to my own music on an ipod that was resealed to be waterproof.
All you need is a belt sold by Aqua Jogger. There are of course other items that can be bought to enhance the experience by making the water resistance more difficult. But, one at a time please.
I am certain I look ridiculous with water gloves, water boots on my feet, and a flotation belt, but I wouldn't give up my pool cardio for any other cardio.

Get in the water's FINE!!!!
