Tonight was my very first Aqua Fit Class and HOLY CRAP is all I can say. I absolutely loved it. It was pretty hard seeing as I never exercise. I was a little nervous about going at first because of having to get into a bathing suit and not knowing anyone but I was surprised when I got to the end of the pool where the class was. There was at least 25 - 30 women there all ages and sizes. This made me less nervous. I had no idea what I was in for!!! They start off with a “warm up” yeah ok.. Have you ever sweat in the water before? Well, the warm up alone made me sweat, I had no idea that you could sweat in the water. After the warm up the first thing they work on is your lower body. At first I was like ok this is good, then all of a sudden you’re sprinting in the water from one side of the pool to the other then running backwards, jumping jacks then just as you think your legs are gonna fall off in the water they switch to your upper body. Oh yeah and they always make you suck in your tummy as you’re doing all this.
So on to the upper body. It was the same as the lower body, kinda easy at first then you’re working really hard almost like boxing in the water. Then they give some weights that float in the water and this works out your mid section. You have to use them to hold yourself side to side but keeping your body under the water. You also have to do this holding your feet in front of you and behind you. So all in all I really enjoyed this class and will definaltey continue to go the three days a week. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Then when I get brave enough I will try the deep water aqua fit. And one more thing, man is it ever a good thing that I quit smoking cuz I swear I would have died there tongiht. Oh yeah and if you ever try this, bring WATER!!!
