Gym Question

[rosehips 121]

I LOVE Water aerobics, the water makes me feel good and it is easier to jump around and do the exersise. Bad knees prevent me from doing Zumba. I am starting with a trainer now, I want to work out as effectively as I can. Good luck,

M-make short term goals

O-out with the negative thoughts

T-think of why you want it

I-imagine how you will feel

V-visualize the future you

A-acknowledge your successes

T-treat yourself with respect

I-investigate new ideas and foods

O-observe your healthy lifestyle

N-never give up and never give in

I took Water aerobics for years and I never saw anyone in there with a perfect bathing suit body. Actually it was the opposite because most of the participants were very obese. This is the one thing anyone at any weight can do because you can move to deep end and have no impact on your joints or shallow end with very light impact. You can use the water resistance or use water weights and you can get a great workout in the water. The gym can be intimidating when it comes to our bodies but trust me people are in their own zone and rarely notice people around them. Don't worry about your body and just take the class. This journey is about letting go of excuses, getting out of your comfort zone, and taking care of yourself for a change. Throw on your swimsuit and whatever cover up you feel you need (t shirt, short, etc) and get to that class. You will be surprised at how GREAT you feel after.
