I went kayaking for the first time in YEARS this past weekend. I am finally small enough, agile enough and flexible enough to get in and out of the kayak. My husband was SO HAPPY. Not only that, but we paddled for three hours. I thought for sure I was going to be sore as hell the next day and I wasn't at all. All those Water aerobics classes with the webbed gloves and foam dumb bells really paid off!!! I'm ecstatic. Didn't catch one fish, but I don't even care. I had a glorious day! :biggrin:

that sounds like fun! glad you had a good time and even more so that you weren't sore as hell.

I always wanted to try kayaking - that made sense when I lived on the coast! Now being landlocked, it doesn't have the same appeal.

Glad to know you had a great time and that you weren't sore after.

I often wondered - what are those foam dumbells and gloves supposed to do for a swimmer? I see them being used at the Y, just haven't yet asked anyone why they use them.
