deaddemmama 474 Posted July 11, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shannalee 65 Posted July 11, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deaddemmama 474 Posted July 11, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was also a competitive swimmer for twelve years so I think my blood is 90% chlorine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deaddemmama 474 Posted July 12, 2013 Just found an aqua zumba class! Going to start next week! 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
