Deep water aqua aerobics

After righting war and peace last night I realised i didnt say anything about my aqua class I went too...!

As I said before, I wasnt feeling into and was still worrying about feeling sorry for myself but posted on the boards and got some very much needed inspiration and was reunited with my mojo...!

I went along not really knowing what to expect. I paid my entrance fee and was plesantly surprised with the facilities of the Cook & Philip Park pool.

6.30pm came and the instructor walked out. I saw everyone grabbing a belt and I remembered someone saying make sure you grab a belt to help you float. Initially I was thinking I wouldnt need it as I am a pretty strong swimmer, but I figured there was a reason everyone else was wearing them - and I wasnt wrong!!! It's to stop you drowning haha!! the main reason I was drowning was because I was laughing so much - I must have looked so silly! It was funny! I started talking to another young girl around my age and found out she is here in Sydney for work for 4 months and doesnt really know anyone. We chatted and laughed the whole way through it and in the end made it a deal to meet up again on Thursday night. Without her, it might have been a bit boring (the music was less than motivating) but I actually had a great time. When I got home my arms were really feeling it! I thought I was going to be in worlds of pain today, but I actually feel OK. When 'flexing' my muscles, I can tell I've had a good work out, but relaxed they are fine.

If anyone is ever thinking about deep water aerobics, give it a go! It was great fun as long as your willing to laugh at yourself!! Cook & Phillip Park in Sydney CBD run classes Tues & Thurs 6.30pm and also Sat & Sun 10am. I'll be there every Tues & Thurs and I am also going to try and go to Sunday morning also.

I'm back in the zone, and I love it!!!!
