Haven't Done This in 30 Years!

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

I did something today that I haven't done in about 30 years. I purchased a swim suit!! Not only that, I signed up for a agua class with two of my good friends. We are blessed in my town to have a community college that offers people over 55 an opportunity to take fun and healthy classes aimed at seniors. We are the Golden Tigers.

My doctor has advised me to take this class, as I do have knee problems. I am hoping to have fun AND lose weight. There are two sessions (signed up for both!) one for June and one for July. A total of 25 one hour sessions at the indoor pool at the high school (w/instructor) for $20. You cannot beat that.

I am really excited because it starts this Friday!

    That is awesome. We have a pool..with no liner hopefully we will be able to purchase one this year! I can't swim but I do enjoy going in the pool (only when the water temp is in the 90's) and walk around it. Good resistance exercise doing that. Have fun!

    Awesome. I learned how to swim last year (at age 40) at the community college. Cannot beat the price! Have fun in your class.

    That is so exciting! I have an aqua class I love to go to twice a week. The only place I will currently wear a bathing suit because it's not limited to any particular age group but the majority of this one are older than me. I'm 57. It's a noon class and I can work my work schedule around it most of the time on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I feel comfortable wearing a bathing suit in that group. There are a couple of men but they are also older and I'm not intimidated by them either. So enjoy it! Working out in water is great because of the resistance of the water that works your muscles more but the weighlessness makes it feel much easier and is easy on the joints. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
