I would check your local YMCA. Parks & Rec may also run one at your local high school (especially with summer coming). The gym I go to offers them as part of membership. If your city has an aquatics center (I know Troy does) they may also have them. I would say start with your local Parks & Rec and go from there. Good luck. I wish I had your motivation :-)
Pregnancy brain is killing me. I forgot I have a lifetime membership at Fitness USA. I haven't been in many moons.
I have to do something. I'm 39 and overweight. I did so well on Weight Watchers. Now I've regained the weight and pregnant now. I have to keep this weight down.
I hear ya! You should see me at work. The past 2 weeks I feel like I am forgetting everything! I just turned 30 and I'm on the "fluffy" side too. I have a membership to Lifetime Fitness and I am so nervous about others seeing me in a suit I won't do any water activities. My hubby just rolls his eyes at me. I stick to the cardio area. Honestly, I have gained WAY less this time than I did with my son when I was pregnant. I am 17 weeks and down 4 lbs (I think) which is up a few pounds from the first trimester. I did have bad morning sickness, but I really think your body adjusts. I gained around 55 with son (15 in the 1st tri alone) and will NEVER do that again!
Your school district should offer classes through a highschool. I live in Macomb County & there are water aerobics offered @ L'Anse Creuse North & Central. They are year round, w/ a few weeks off in between sessions. I belong to the YMCA & they have daily water aerobics in the morning & night. They'e a lot of fun & you really get a good workout. Don't worry about feeling self conscious- I've seen all different body types in the water aerobics classes I take.
Beaumont also offers them in conjunction with the Beverly Hills Club. I go on Tuesdays and Thursdays but they also offer Mondays and Wednesdays. It's $100 for 6 weeks, 2x per week. It's free if you're a member of the BHC.
