jusstice 103 Posted July 31, 2012 If you are going to be doing Water aerobics you should invest in a unitard. I bought one online at swimsuitsforall.com and loved it for water aerobics. You look better than in a swim suit because it holds all of you in and, since it has legs (thigh coverage), nothing can hang out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jusstice 103 Posted July 31, 2012 Oh, and for aerobics, the swim unitard is more comfy than a regular suit because it provides support to all the jiggly bits. It's not just better from an aesthetic perspective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted July 31, 2012 I LOVE Water aerobics. Hey texits nice to hear that you enjoy Water aerobics,hopefully i can walk in your water steps i'm a little concerned, but like i said, anxious to try something new. of course trying anything new like sleeve-hmmmm- is different, but terrific too. 108 degrees - now you get out my daughter and mom also hit those high temperatures in atlanta georgi - no way , no how for me. take care kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carolc 94 Posted July 31, 2012 Hi Kathy, I am pre-op and have started my own makeshift Water aerobics in my pool...only when the neighbors aren't outside:) I bought some water ankle weights and I jog the perimeter of the pool 4 times in one directions and then 4 in the other against the current I made. Then I swim a few laps, do stretches, twists, etc. Let me tell you, it is a work out! The best is that it is easy on the feet and knees and it is sweat free! I am sure you will love the class. Good luck to you. Carol 2 justmeandmysleeve and Smiley79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

going_down 2 Posted August 4, 2012 My plan for after surgery is Water aerobics too, I love swimming, and the low impact factor. It will def be my work out preference. I'm actually starting today on doing some of it pre-op with my pre-op diet. Swimming burns the most calories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keldolbeth 262 Posted August 4, 2012 Depending on the suit you bought and the intensity of the class I might recommend a sports bra also. I did aqua zumba for a year and a half (and just started up again) and there's some jumping involved. I took a few "regular" Water aerobics classes too and still wore the sports bra. I bought a one-piece sportier suit but it did nothing for my chest. Most of the women in the class wore them too, which is where I got the idea. I'd just recommend one of the seamless kinds, instead of cotton. I like Champion brand seamless sports bras from Target. I've never tried the unitard thing but I might since my one-piece is too big now. Definitely go for comfort and performance over anything else... which is easy for me to say since I go to a females only gym! Good luck! Have fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
