Pool exercise/aerobics...SM
Posted: Sep 5, 2014
I've joined a very reasonably priced health club in town ($25 per month) and have been going 2-3 times a week for 1 hour. I'm about 5 weeks into it, and I'm already seeing positive results. My upper body, arms/shoulders, already feel better; and a mild sciatic pain on the right has disappeared. Also, my mood is better and I feel stronger and more energetic. I'd urge anyone who has such a program nearby which is affordable to try it. I finally made the plunge (pun intended), and I'm so happy I did. ;
Pool exercise is WONDERFUL for so many people! - ETOHPRN
[ In Reply To ..]I briefly went to the local Y to try their gym out and they had a VERY popular pool program. They have 2 pools--1 at regular temperature and 1 kept especially warm, specifically for babies/kids programs and for people with arthritis/joint replacements.
Those joint exercise pool programs were so popular they had a waiting list at the time! I watched a few of them and there were people of all shapes and sizes, all ages, and they were having a BLAST! What a wonderful sense of camaraderie and support they all had for each other.
I would highly recommend checking it out if there is one near you and to anyone on the fence about it, just try 1 class and see!
I'm so glad it has been successful for you too! Definitely helps the body and spirit :)
I want to do this - My 2 cents
[ In Reply To ..]My knees are shot after years of high impact aerobics and I think water aerobics would be good for me. It is offered through our YMCA and we have access to 2 pools, need to find out if they have evening classes.
My health club isn't fancy but...SM - Old Anon
[ In Reply To ..]the price is right. I get the senior discount. Most water aerobics where I live (including the Y) usually have morning/day classes and are geared toward seniors. My friend refers to us as the Medicare Mermaids. We have M-W-F and Saturday classes, and there is 1 pool Zumba class at 6 p.m. which I can't go to because I work 12-9. I can also use all the fitness equipment on non-pool days, but I've yet to make an appointment with a trainer for an orientation. I may start doing some weight machines on my non-pool days this winter. Check out any facility near you that has a pool and classes and also check out the prices as they vary. I find that the "Y" tends to be rather expensive, in my city anyway. There's also a community college near me that has morning pool aerobics 2 days a week, and all they ask for is a donation, whatever you can afford. I've never been a big fan of gyms, but I really enjoy this pool thing immensely.
Pool Exercise - Work out too
[ In Reply To ..]Good for you, but if you cannot find a reasonably priced gym in your area, then by all means just get out and walk or ride a bike or anything that gets you moving. Someone once said, don't join a gym, buy a dog! I get Silver Sneakers and go to every gym I can whenever there is a class that I want to go to. I totally agree that exercise is the best medicine around. Keep it up.
