One walks like a stork when treading water according to Kneipp. That means: with each step a leg must be completely lifted out of the water and when dipping it back in the water it must be bent downward easily. Your legs should feel warm before this application. If that is not the case, they can be warmed up by movement. After about 30 seconds, a strong cool feeling develops in the feet and lower legs - time to leave the wading and to heat up, for example by doing gymnastics. Important: Strip and do not dry the water after the water treading! In order to increase the general Abhärtung and stabilization, the procedure must be repeated several times. The procedure must be repeated serveral times in order to increase resistance and strength.
