This morning I went down to the YMCA to try out water aerobics. Since I turned 65 I am eligible for the Silver Sneakers program sponsored by my insurance company to instill wellness habits in the “older” folks. There were about 12 ladies in the pool and one of them was the temporary instructor due to the illness of a child of the regular instructor. First we used weights that were made of foam, but really had a lot of resistance in the water. We passed weighted balls and did exercises using a foam board. There was a lot of twisting, and aerobic moving and I must say I was completely worn out by the hour’s end. They meet every M-W-F but I’m not sure how often I will go.
