The idea makes sense: You're moving your legs, working your muscles, but since you're in water, you're doing so without the pounding of a regular run, whether that be on a treadmill or the road, with the added benefit of increased resistance from the water. Still, Hydrophysio's aquatic treadmill looks a bit over-the-top. Not to mention that it would give the less dedicated among us too much opportunity to back out and think of something else to do while waiting for the machine to fill up with fluid. Now, if it doubled as a jacuzzi, so you could finish your workout, grab some Gatorade, and then return a few minutes later to find it warm and bubbling, that would be something. One bonus: It works for rehabbing your pets, too. So, you know, you could walk your dog, in the water, without going outside. Because that's what technology's for. —Gregory Mone

Not to nitpik, but I think that after exercise you'd want to sit in a cold water bath, not a warm water bath.

0 out of 0 people found this comment helpfulI don't know if they are the same people but I think I've seen this sort of thing on http://www.abc.net.au/tv/newinventors/ a long long time ago, It looked more like a glass shower and you had to wear a harness of some sort.
0 out of 0 people found this comment helpfulI've been using one of these for months at rehab. They work pretty well for those of us with pain issues. The water is very soothing and the tread mill allows for a nice aerobic workout that is difficult to get otherwise. It already has jacuzzi jets to increase resistance, and you can't change your mind while it's filling because you have to wait inside the machine while the water loads and drains. There is a heater to adjust the temperature. Also, the water level goes higher than shown in the picture, which helps with weight bearing.

0 out of 0 people found this comment helpfulhi my name is aj and im 14 years old and i happen to be looking at the websiteand this caught my eye. To the woman or man who said this would be torture is plain old lazy because the are to many positives that over take the risks the only you could really torture yourself is by putting your head under for a while but that sounds like some shit you would since this is torture
