water aerobics!

Last week I attended a water aerobics class at the gym here (it's free!) and I have fallen in love with the "sport". It was advertised as the "world's largest water aerobics class" and so I was expecting a lot of people to show up but there were only 5 people including me.

This looks more like the "World's largest water aerobics class"

 I also was expecting a lot of old ladies because when I think water aerobics I picture this:

But there was only 1 older woman there. We did use what the old ladies are holding though. Those water weights seem so light because they're foam material but man, in the water with resistance, it is a intense work out. It was also a lot of this:

It was a full body workout. What was fun was that they blasted really upbeat music and we would do everything to the beat. It was a lot of jogging, lounging. walking with high knees, arm curls, and abs. And what's water aerobics without the foam noodle?

Yes, we did use it for many of the exercises. I'm planning on continuing this class because it's so much more fun than running on a machine or lifting weights. Maybe I'll invest in a swimming cap like this one:

In case you didn't know what to get me for Christmas or my birthday, I would be very happy with this! (apparently it's made by speedo)

Finally, I'll end today's post with this cute picture (as if I don't put enough pictures already)
