Water Aerobics

Yes, water aerobics. I took my first water aerobics class yesterday and I liked it. I didn't know what to expect but it was quite relaxing and it just felt good to be completely immersed in a pool. The water was a warm 94 degrees (salt water pool I may add) and there were three other preggars in the class (one girl was in our Preparation for Child Birth class and Breastfeeding class) , a middle aged woman and an older woman (it's a low impact/prenatal class). They all seemed pretty friendly including the instructor.

So we did some exercises in the water and did some stretching. The class was an hour long and I probably could have stayed in the pool a little longer than that even though I was turning into a prune. I haven't been a pool since the Topeka baby shower and I wasn't nearly as big back then as I am now.

As soon as I was heading up the steps out of the pool all the weight came back and I was brought back to reality. :-( I should have been doing this earlier, but I guess better late than never! The pool is being cleaned next week so there won't be any classes. I'm planning on going the following week and hopefully continue until I pop.
