Does anyone do Water aerobics? How do you feel this is working for y'all? I'm wanting to start this next week, because I'm still on the heavy side and don't think my knees will like ordinary aerobics. . . let me know!:confused1:

I've done it in the past and had a really good time and actually worked up a sweat in the Water. I tried it again about a month after getting the sleeve and was super excited about doing it again only to discover a lot of people didn't take it seriously and talked throughout the entire class. Some had their backs to the instructor and it was very crowded so if they weren't paying attention and did the wrong movement it kind of was hard to do it yourself. I'd say try it and if the class is good, it's a great way to exercise without the stresses to your body that land exercise has. Good luck and let us know how you like it!

Yeah I go to the YMCA and do this class and it seems like a good starter thing for me just to remind me how to move my body. We do some stretching, a lot of leg exercises. My class is an hour. But I think it is something I wouldn't do for a long long time - maybe a month or two because it doesn't seem like quite enough exercise. I think I'll quickly progress to a lap swim class. I know that is tremendous exercise I just don't feel up to it quite yet.

I go to the pool a lot and started with the classes and learned which exercises worked for me. Some instructors are better than others and you can actually do your own thing if you want to spot exercise. It feels so good and I push for a half hour and then go to the treadmill or bicycle for another half hour. Seems the more weight I lose the more my back and neck need attention and the pool execises seem to strengthen my core muscles. Works for me.

I ordered a DVD from Amazon.com to learn some of the Water aerobic exercised. My pool is finally finished being repaired and I'm about to go and get in it right now!

I have bad lower back problems so I figure this is a good way to start that would be low impact on my back.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
