water aerobics

[Carol Watts 67]

Today I started something new. I did Water aerobics for a good hour. I didnt feel it while in the water. I feel it this evening. My arms are sore. I am going back Wednesday and do it again. It was a good workout. Honestly I can't swim. But taking this class is helping me adjust to the water and now I am thinking of taking swim lessons. It is a good full body workout. I felt so much better afterwards also. I am sore this evening, but I had more energy afterwards.

I had been considering Water aerobics but am not a fan of venturing out in a swimming suit. I don't know how to swim, either. I'd love to just get over the whole swimming suit thing and go!

These work and your joints enjoy it much more than exercise out of the Water.< /p>

I like to try Water aerobics also. I can't swim either, but I did buy one of those foam belts so that I can go to the deep end and walk under water. I just have to watch for a water aerobics class to begin at my gym and sign up for it. I'm just glad to hear that not everyone knows how to swim, but take water aerobics. I always thought you had to know how to swim before you can take the class.

I wore shirt and shorts today. It was alot of elderly ladies in there. I gave in and went got the one piece swimsuit. You should be able to wear shorts and t-shirt though

I thought that also until I called and ask. I told the girl I couldnt swim. She said alot of people actually dont know how to swim. There was a life guard on duty at all times. I was not sure at first when I got in water. I didnt use the belt though. I used a noodle at first, but then i turned it loose and put on side of pool. I also stayed in 4 ft water

I've been doing it three days a week since October and I love it. It has really helped me firm up. If anyone's worried about wearing a swimsuit-don't! There are people of all shapes, sizes, and ages at Water aerobics. I have made some really nice friends there, too! I am actually looking into joining the Y because they have more classes and I feel like I need to step it up to more than 3 days a week now.

How has it helped with weight loss ? Also how has it helped with stomach and hips ?

It's helped a lot with my stomach and hips, and really jump-started my weight loss. Before that, I was only walking and definitely losing, but being in the Water allows you to work more muscle groups without putting pressure on the joints. I definitely think I'm a mermaid now...I can do things in the Water that I just can't do on land. My core strength is so much better now. When I first started, there was this exercise we did where we hung from the side of the pool and dead lifted our legs using our abs. I couldn't even do one...now I could do them in my sleep. I've lost 6" from my hips and even more in the upper torso. I've had 3 kids, so it's not like the pooch is going to go down that much, lol! My legs are very toned and I have muscle in place I never knew existed. I love the fact that I can now wear junior size skinny jeans and regular boots...no wide-calf necessary.

Thanks I have 4 kids.I have had several surgeries. $ of them being C-Sections. I actually felt my stomach muscles yesterday something I havent felt in years. That is why I asked. Thanks for the info.I know I want have that flat stomach, but if it will just take inches off I will be happy

I have been doing Aqua Zumba and Aqua Aerobics since August. I absolutely love it. It is so much fun especially the Aqua Zumba and both classes are full of real people. I have met so many nice people, one who had WLS two weeks before me and we have become great friends. Wonderful support system.

Have you seen a change in weight loss since you have been doing it ? I am trying to get everyone's feed back on this. Just want an idea of what to expect in the long run

[cher 16]

Yes, it helped me loose me weight needed prior to surgery and I'm sure it has helped with my after as well. I'm down 59 total and was sleeved 12 Nov.

[Carol Watts 67]

That is good. I didnt have to lose any before surgery. I did lose 6 pounds before surgery that I didnt try to lose. I have lost 60 pounds since surgery I was sleeved Oct 8 2012. I want to lose about 55 more pounds. My surgeon was fine with my goal which is 125 pounds. I am where I was at in 1997 before I had hysterectomy. I have about 35/40 pounds to be where I was at when I met hubby in 1991, but I want to lose more than that. I still have more inches than I had in 1997 though. I was always scared of Water until I have got older. I cant swim, but thinking of taking lessons.
