Algis usually tosses in so much trash I can't take the time to sort and
reply and I'm at a great disadvantage since I have neither theory nor
religion to propose of my own. But as I was Granny-thinking earlier today
I realized that water would not add strength to our legs (muscle or bone)
as we waded and if we spent enough time wading we'd probably be losing bone
and muscle because the water would be supporting our upper body weight. So
if we want to strengthen leg bones and muscles we have to walk or run
outside the water -stream, pond, ocean, puddle, lake, river, whatever not
in it. Ditto for the hips and we would we have these tiny waist lines
(hey, compared to a gorilla?) if our weight were supported in water?
Water is like the zero gravity experienced by astronauts in this respect.
They experience bone and muscle wasting while hanging out in space.
Maybe the founders of AAR had no way of knowing how gravity and water acted
on muscles and bones but what's Algis' excuse? He's still living on this
planet, ain't he?
