Gave water aerobics a try

elyse05 · May 2013

I've been going to a water aerobics class the past few weeks, I highly recommend it! I'm not part of the gym so I pay per class (way cheaper for me this way with the lack of time I have!). I get there a little early and swim around, it feels sooooo good.

I am the youngest person there by far, but that kind of makes it more fun! All the old ladies love to chat about the baby.

At first I thought it was kind of a joke and not much of a workout, but now it's getting a little more challenging- but not uncomfortable. It's the only workout I would be able to stand these days. Of course, I can't make it through the class without getting out for a pee break!

Just thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone is contemplating taking a class or if you feeling a little trapped in their pregnant body Oh and I didn't by a new suit- I just wear my old bottoms with a sports bra and rash-guard/shirt.

I was at the gym this morning, 10 minutes in on the elliptical and I was like WTH am I thinking right now. I powered through though and made it to my 40 minute goal. A pool would've been heavenly! Glad you found a workout you enjoy:)

I'd love to know where you take classes. My pregnant friend and I are both thinking this would be a fun activity and a little easier on the joints. You can PM if you'd like!

How fun! I have been sticking with my normal pre-preggo workouts, but water aerobics sounds like a blast!

I love prenatal water aerobics, I'm glad you are enjoying it! I haven't managed to secure child care yet so I haven't done it this pregnancy, but I sure miss it. I think it would help with all my aches and pains.

I've been taking a class since I was 18wks and I love it. I go with my mom; I'm also the youngest there and i also find it fun to chat with the older ladies. I go three times a week for an hour each time. I don't know about you but it really helps my hips and back pain. :-)

I'm interested to learn too, also when their classes are!

Check at your local Y. Most places that are geared towards community fitness will have water aerobics!

Highline Athletic Club in Burien, $9 drop-in. I have been going to Sat 8AM class, but I know they have others. I have to find their schedule again since I have to start working Saturdays next month

I love swimming! I go twice a week to do laps, and being in the pool is the best feeling.
