deep water aerobics | pad patter 1.9.17

[keepscrappin]

I just got home from deep water aerobics and feel great! Never in a million years would I have dreamed that I would be saying that, but I am! I started doing deep water aerobics last month when my doctor told me she thinks I have fibromyalgia and suggested I start doing them. I thought it was only for old ladies, but it's not and it's actually a really good workout. It gets my heart pumping and really stretches me. I love interacting with all the ladies and it gets me outta the house and moving. I'm not great at it yet, but everyone has been very supportive and I have noticed improvements.

I'm sure I'm quite the site walking into the swimming pool all wrapped up in my bathrobe and tromping in my winter boots, but I don't care! The main thing is that I'm moving! I'm moving a lot and it's not killing me! My joints don't ache like they did with land exercises. I feel much better on the days I go than on the days I don't. I'm getting some great exercise and best of all, I'm not staying home letting the winter get me down!

How about you? Have you tried water aerobics? Do you like it?

I have done them, but am a long distance swimmer by choice. I love to do a mile a day april thru october! I am slow, steady and then done! lol...my kids all do a mile with me before they go play! They love it!

I haven't done them in years but remember how good it felt. I've had back and neck problems since a car accident many years ago and water aerobics was recommended to me. I went for about six months and it was fun, while helping to loosen up my joints. I stopped going when we moved b/c then it was too far to attend while I was working and living so far away from the pool. I've never looked into classes at our aquatic centre out here but was thinking about it recently. I belong to a gym but there is no swimming pool unfortunately.

I've never done them but it sounds great! Swimming is always so relaxing afterward so I'm sure you get benefits both in and out of the pool.

 

[michelepixels]

Nope, not yet. But I enjoyed aerobics class in high school, jumping around to dance music, so I'd probably like water aerobics too.

I do water aerobics every day, but not deep water. If you have the right instructor, it's a very good workout. We have men in our class who have a hard time keeping up with some of the 80-year-old ladies. I do this because of my back and leg problems and sometimes, according to my tracker, I get in almost 2 miles in one hour.

I did it about 2 years before I had a knee replacement but really didn't like it much. I know it helped but struggling OUT of the wet bathing suit after class and waiting for the hot shower was the part I didn't like at all. All of the men we had stayed at the deep end of the pool just chatting with friends. I think for many of them it was just a time filler. A couple women at the shallower (still over your head) end really worked hard but I just stuck to getting my legs moving to delay the surgery for another year.

This cracked me up. I hate getting in & out of a swimming cap. And I will just throw over sweats and drive home dripping wet. The pool is only 3 miles away.

My mom & I took a water aerobics class at the community college. It was too slow for me. It was really hard for my mom, she has a fear of swimming. It was an easy A though.

 

[Tree City]

Good on ya for finding a regime that works for you! We joined a gym Jan. 1 (yea for a family resolution to get out and get going!). Anyway, I want to check out a water aerobics class. I know swimming is a great low-impact workout, which I'd like for myself.

 

[IntenseMagic]

I have never done it but it sounds great! I do love to swim and be in the water!

 

[keepscrappin]

I wish I could swim laps too, but I'm not a good swimmer. All 3 of my kids are. I made sure to get them in swimming lessons when they were young. I wish I had been privileged enough to get swimming lessons as a kid. I think that's one life skill everyone should have. I might get brave and do adult swimming lessons, but right now I'd be too embarrassed and intimidated.... maybe someday!

This is me... hence the bathrobe. My daughter works at the pool and she told me that many people just wear their robes and she was right. It's much easier to just throw my robe on and drive home and shower here instead of trying to do it at the pool.

 

[Celeste]

i need to find some exercise! this sounds interesting. of course we don't have many pools in my area.

 

[MrsGaramer]

I've done water Zumba and I loved it! It was a great work out. I live very close to the pool so I just wrap up and go home in my towel or cover up.

 

[jenn33199]

Love it and have a shallow and deep water workout downloaded to my ipod- which I play on a speaker out by my pool in late spring/summer/fall! Great workout and you are in the WATER! (which i love)

 

[littlekiwi]

@MrsGaramer I do Aqua Zumba as well & love it. Haven't been for awhile so definitely need to go back

 

[AnneofAlamo]

@keepscrappin I have taught many adults to swim. We live in the desert, and so many people just never learned. I won't say it is simple, because fear is the biggest hurdle. Getting used to being in water, to become comfortable. Stay in the shallow area, where you can stand up and be safe.

But a kickboard to hold on to, and just kick your legs until you start moving. I have one friend that is all she does for laps, and it is a huge work out. Big kudos for you in making sure your kiddos learned.
I learned at 9months. My mom in the water, my dad threw me in, and yep....I swam right to her, never a lesson.

I've done water Zumba and I loved it! It was a great work out. I live very close to the pool so I just wrap up and go home in my towel or cover up.

@MrsGaramer I do Aqua Zumba as well & love it. Haven't been for awhile so definitely need to go back

oh wow! water Zumba! I've never heard of that. I can't dance to save my life... I wonder if it'd be easier in the pool. At least no one could see me doing it wrong. I think that's why I like deep water aerobics... no one can see me mess up... hehe I tried regular aerobics a few times and I'm terrible.. I go left when everyone else goes right. I can't keep a beat. Funny because I'm really good at sports, just can't dance!

Love it and have a shallow and deep water workout downloaded to my ipod- which I play on a speaker out by my pool in late spring/summer/fall! Great workout and you are in the WATER! (which i love)

oh I wish I had a pool in the backyard, but this time of year it'd be covered in snow! I guess I should wish I lived somewhere that was warmer so I could have a pool out back... hehe

@keepscrappin I have taught many adults to swim. We live in the desert, and so many people just never learned. I won't say it is simple, because fear is the biggest hurdle. Getting used to being in water, to become comfortable. Stay in the shallow area, where you can stand up and be safe.

But a kickboard to hold on to, and just kick your legs until you start moving. I have one friend that is all she does for laps, and it is a huge work out. Big kudos for you in making sure your kiddos learned.
I learned at 9months. My mom in the water, my dad threw me in, and yep....I swam right to her, never a lesson.

That's a FAB idea Anne! I just might have to try that... I can swim, just not very fast so I feel like I'd be holding others up when the lanes are full. But I can kick and I'm pretty good at the back stroke. I've picked up a few tips from listening at my kids' swim lessons, so I think if I just practiced I could do it.

oh wow! water Zumba! I've never heard of that. I can't dance to save my life... I wonder if it'd be easier in the pool. At least no one could see me doing it wrong. I think that's why I like deep water aerobics... no one can see me mess up... hehe I tried regular aerobics a few times and I'm terrible.. I go left when everyone else goes right. I can't keep a beat. Funny because I'm really good at sports, just can't dance!


oh I wish I had a pool in the backyard, but this time of year it'd be covered in snow! I guess I should wish I lived somewhere that was warmer so I could have a pool out back... hehe

No one sees anything!!! It's great.
