Water Walking A New Sport in India

This new sport is called water walking and is brand new in India.

The Tourism Minister of Assam predicts this sport will attract more tourists to the state.

[Manojit Bharadwaj, Sports Promoter, 'Water Walking']:
"This ball floats in water, it is filled with oxygen. Since it is round and spherical in shape, whenever anyone enters inside the sphere, it moves. It is filled with oxygen. When people go inside it, they can easily walk, roll in it, jump in it, float or relax in it. They can do whatever they want to do."

The water ball allows the rider to float, relax, watch fish swimming below the sphere, and enjoy every moment in it. The ride lasts about seven minutes for a single trip.

[Suraj Shankar, Water Ball Rider]:
"I felt very nice. Earlier I was very scared but later I enjoyed a lot. We fall in it several times, we feel nice. We can exercise also inside it and we really enjoyed inside it."

However, the toughest part is to stand and walk inside the ball on water. And children just love it.

The ball is made up of a durable material called thermoplastic elastic rubber, and can be used anywhere where there is water and can bear weight up to 330 pounds.

The five to seven minutes of water walking is equivalent to 20 minutes on the treadmill and is highly beneficial for people with diabetes.
