Our gym has a pool and Water aerobic classes three days a week. I have been stalled (scale-wise) for a while but I am getting smaller. Well a few water aerobic classes has the scale moving again.

Most of the people in the class are much older than I am (47). Some of them have limited mobility. It is a very good workout, and not intimidating at all, even though (OMG!) I am in public in my bathing suit, which is now kind of too big! lol

Good for you! I am 7 days post op and when I am released this Friday to work out that is exactly what I am going to do. I have Fibromyalgia and the resistance the water gives me is perfect! I thought the same thing about the age of the women. I am 54 and thought wow I may be the hottest chick in the pool!!

You might well be the hottest chick! I think I am one of the smallest in our pool.

There is a nice camaraderie in the class. As the new person, some of the regulars will help me if I am not doing something quite right.

I know some overweight people are embarrassed to go to the gym, but the Water aerobics class is very different than the weight and cardio areas, in my experience.
