Just wanted to let everybody know that Water aerobics is a great way to exercise all the time, but especially when you are losing. I have been doing it pre and post surgery, and I love it! I've lost 75 pounds since surgery and have been dedicated to water aerobics, making it my only exercise beyond walking. I have given myself a "zero tolerance policy" in that I am absolutely committed to going to my class...no excuses. It has paid off and helps me from getting too hungry, as well as giving me a great emotional boost. I also don't have that dreaded hanging skin that I have worried about.
The beauty of water is that you are so much lighter in the water and it doesn't hurt your joints while you are doing it. For me, I can work a lot harder in the water and it is so much fun. I would really recommend it to everyone. Maybe after I lose more weight, I'll work out of the pool, but right now, it's the best for me. Hope this gives you some good info.
