Aqua aerobics

[Omega]

Hi

Does anyone else go to Aqua Aerobics at their local swimming pool?

I used to go years ago but then stopped. I have been advised by my physio that it would be good for the condition that I am suffering from - Fibromyalgia.

I started two weeks ago and am having so much fun; and I can definitely feel the difference in my muscles afterwards; I can move about more easily without pain :thumbs: We have a man that takes the class - he is probably around late 50's and looks so fit with his tanned slim body :blush:

He is a great teacher and has us in stitches with his antics - he even gets into the pool to cool off and show us how the exercises should be done :hihi:

The average age in the class is around 65 and I am positively one of the youngest :hihi: :hihi:

It is fun while exercising, the class lasts for one hour and you are continuously exercising.

If you haven't tried it I would recommend you do :thumbs:

I went 3 times a week at one point cos I loved it so much! It doesn't half tone you up! In fact I've been swithering about going to classes again (moved to a new town, classes 6miles away!) and I think you might have just swung it for me!!

I used to go once a week when I was pregnant. They ran a special pregnancy one and it was great.

I like aqua aerobics as well and I go to one at my Gym on a Sunday morning which is packed!!! the girl who takes it is really good and she has us all huffing and puffing, we are always saying to each other we didnt know you could sweat in water!!! :lol: :lol:

I used to go a couple of times a week, when I lived closer to a pool - it never felt much like serious exercise on the night, but boy, did I ache the next day! Water makes it seem just TOO easy sometimes - it sure does the business! :D

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(dibuzz @ 9th July 2006 - 10:36 PM) 178473</div> I went about 9 years ago. It was in the swimming pool of a nearby High School and only cost 20p a session with a free creche. The only problem was I couldn't see what the instructor was doing as she was on the side and they made me take my glasses off. All i could see was a blob wiggling about and she really embarrassed me by telling me I was doing it all wrong. [/b]



Dibuzz I would have the same problem as you... can't wear glasses and definitely can't risk losing a contact lense in the water!



I prefer my 'dry-land' aerobics personally
