New Adventure in Water Aerobics ...

In my quest to see if I can get past my plateau on the scale I have tried different diets and now different types of exercise!  Now that Ricks is a full time employee at the hospital we have Insurance!! Whoo hoo!!! With insurance comes a discount at exercise clubs, including the YMCA!  I was so excited I signed us and the boys up.  Even with the discount it still is a good chunk of change a month so I'm going to take advantage of all the classes that are free (which really isn't free just part of your membership but it makes me feel better to say free). 

So I signed the boys up for swim lessons, Caden for Soccer and me into a few classes.  I've taken the Ab class and also the water aerobics.  Let's just say it makes you work out like no tomorrow!  Of course you have the group that has been doing it forever and gives you the nasty looks for entering their class, the ones that talk and laugh the whole class and then the one nice person that took pity and helped me.

Let's just say it took a lot of courage for me to put a suit on and while doing the exercise all the loose skin from loosing the weight was moving in all different directions!  But it was a crazy hard work out and I can't wait to go back!

Now for a swimsuit funny!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

  1. You are kind of my hero right now. I hear so many good things about aqua aerobics and I know some places do aqua zumba. I won't go near the water, though.

  4. Changing things up keeps the body guessing...that's great! If it makes you feel any better I don't much care for water aerobics at all...simply because of the whole swim suit thing and the other people. I'm much more comfortable in workout clothes at the gym than a suit in the water, however if the instructor is good, it's an awesome workout. We have aqua zumba here. Maybe you have it there????

  5. I have always wanted to try water aerobics. I think it is great because it is so much gentler on your body. I am that girl who helps the newbie. I hated always being the new girl and no one talking to me. Now I make sure to include the new person and make them feel welcome.

    So proud of you!
