Thanks for your reply Stef, and no, I didn't take it as a personal attack
The class I take used to be much more challenging. Then they stopped having the arthritis class immediately after that class, so many of those students started coming to the regular aerobics class. The instructor has changed, and has moved it to much more of a slow and easy movement kind of thing (much like the arthritis classes are).
I am also exploring trying the classes at another YMCA. I'm real limited in my time frame (I have to do it before work, because I need to be home with my son in the evening). It would be a struggle to get to a different Y and work out early enough to get to work somewhere close to ontime.
I frequently do a lot of the workout on my own in the second pool (they've moved the water aerobics class to the warmer pool to make it easier for the arthritis people). I prefer to workout in the cooler pool. Do you have any suggestions on where I can go to find information to customize my own workout?
thanks!
