Boot Camp!

Well, I did it! I made it through my first Water Aerobics Boot Camp! And surprisingly it was pretty fun! Aside from the fact that I'm not a strong swimmer and I got a major leg cramp at one point, I think I'll try it again.

At our local aquatics center they offer all sorts of crazy classes. A friend at work who just had a baby 3 months ago found out about a water aerobics boot camp through taking her son to swimming lessons. It's not your ordinary, every day sissy slow paced water aerobics class. Oh no! YOU WORK YOUR BUTT OFF! And it feels great! The class is only $5 a pop. This allows you to just drop on by whenever your little heart desires.



Everything was going smoothly until I realized my weight belt wouldn't tighten and kept riding up to my arm pits and boobs! I don't think this is how it's supposed to function. No matter how hard I tried to keep it in place it kept right on riding! It was pretty difficult to keep myself in one place when the thing kept pusing me foward. A couple of times I ended up right on top of a fellow classmate. Along with the movements and trying to keep myself in one spot I think I worked harder than a lot of the others.

I felt pretty ridiculous at some points. Especially when I was stuck at the shallow end later on with all the old folks. But I just couldn't do the shallow end workout without being toward the stairs since I am barely 5 foot and we weren't wearing our weight belts at this point. I tried to make it in the deeper end but found it highly impossibe! Every second I was down there I felt like I was going to drown at any second! Thankfully the instructor pointed and sent me straight to wear I needed to be. I felt like I was being punished and was headed to the principal's office. But she knew where I needed to be and was I ever so thankful!

Maybe I need a cute little hat to make me work harder and look better! She really rocks it! And the color is amazing! ;)



I think I'll try it again next week. I don't want to give up after one class. It was great being there with some people I knew too. That way I was suffering alone except that these ladies are pros! Maybe one day I'll be a pro too!
