Water Aerobics - I am a believer!

So I got cleared for more cardio exercise..I shove my butt into my bathing suit and head to my local rec center. I figured how hard can this be...omg how wrong I was!!!

Good news is I loved it and it was a hell of a workout!!!

They offer this at a gym I belong to. I think I will give it a try! Thanks!!

I agree!

I don't do it anymore but I did Water aerobics for a long time and it was a critical part of my succcess.

Here is a tip - I have horrible thighs. Nobody laughs at you if you were something like bike shorts under your swimsuit to help with your self consciousness.

Please, don't let your body image issues stop you from water aerobics, I believe it is the BEST exercise for people who are still overweight, and/or have joint issues. It is as easy or hard as YOU make it. I know I stopped when I was about a size 16 (I am an 8 now) because I need variety but I highly recommend it - one of my "success factors" for sure!

I have been doing water aerobics since 9-12, sleeved 8-24. In December I increased from 2 days a week to 5 days a week. I have lost 100 lb.'s since 8-1-12. I LOVE WATER AEROBICS TOO. Recently the weather has changed and I am out taking photos and biking. Everything is so much easier. I need to squat for photos and I can real nice now. I can ride standing up. Have not done that in 30 yrs. I am now lifting weights in addition to water aerobics. Water is more fun but I am being told "if I want to live on land I must exercise on land". I can go up and down steps real well now. ALL THANKS TO WATER AEROBICS,
