water aerobics



Recommended Posts

Anyone else do Water aerobics? I love it! I alternate aerobics with deep water running with an aquajogger and daily walking. Good toning and calorie burning with no joint pain. Happy. :)

I have been doing Water aerobics on and off for the last 10 years. When I hurt my knees before the surgery it was a life saver. Now I do it twice a week on the days where it is more carbo driven. I have now moved on to the elliptical which is now my favorite machine. I think that if you are happy with it, stick to it. It does help tone and the baggy skin will go away.

I have nerve damage throughout my chest wall so any exercise where I have to hold my trunk upright can be very painful. The Water supports my trunk and makes everything easier. I also use flotation weights for resistance. Can tell the difference already.

I was also a competitive swimmer for twelve years so I think my blood is 90% chlorine!

They also have an aqua boot camp, but I'm a afraid I won't be able to handle it. Has anyone had to stop during a class, and if so, how did you handle it?

I am going to Aqua Zumba tomorrow! Excited to see what it is all about, and I think I talked my husband into going with me.

I will post tomorrow afternoon when I get back. My biggest problem is that I only dance when I am drinking! haha. My body doesn't go in the directions I tell it to!

I did have a lady today tell me not to be afraid of it, that its kind of the same moves we are doing in regular Water aerobics, with much better music.

I tried it once & didn't much care for it. We have a Water kickboxing class that is real good. Works all your muscles.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
