Aqua class

I ended up- taking part in the aqua aerobics class with my “client” tonight instead of just swimming. There are various reasons I did this, some related to this guy but I decided I would give it a try after a long time.

I think last time I did the class I was terribly unfit and found it exhausting. It was a different teacher, though, so perhaps it was a more rigorous class too. Tonight it was just about too easy. I didn’t feel like my heart rate increased all that much and I wasn’t all that tired at the end. The only benefit I seemed to gain was from the water weights workout, which did give me a bit of challenge. I think my upper arms will be sore tomorrow since I’ve not used the weights in the water before…or at least in a long time.

I will probably go back to doing mostly swimming while the “client” is doing the class. I think it’s also easier to keep watch on him that way than when I am trying to concentrate on the exercises at the same time. Also the thing I really don’t like about the classes is that there are inevitably sets of exercises that I get totally messed up on and don’t follow the pattern. I know it’s not a big deal but it bugs me enough to put me off doing them. Especially when it’s not the same routine all the time. It’s even worse when I do aerobics classes…not that I do them…but I have tried ones of video and found I was hopeless at keeping up without heaps of practice.  LOL
