Brenda -- I know it's less movement for you, but you're still doing it! And when you're able, you'll be even more ready to kick fitness in the... So good for you!!
The 300+ exer-total is 446 minutes + [your time] -- bring em on! Let's get to 1000 minutes fast!!
Brenda Tell me about AquaFit. What is it? Where did you learn about it. Is is something you can do on your own, or do you have to do it as a class? I've done water aerobics of some type for many many years, but always in a class setting. Now that my schedule does not allow for me to do an organized class I'm looking for something I can do on my own. Tell me about it.
AquaFit is basically water areobics. I do it in a class setting although it is available 6 days per week at different times here so scheduling it in sometimes is quite easy. They have classes morning and evening too. They also have water running and water walking here as well and even though that is mainly class setting as well, you could do that any time. Running is basically you wear a suspension belt and do it in deep water. you "run" for 1 minute and "walk slower" for one minute. Sometimes we set up different exercises like "water cross country skiing", pushups ( pulling yourself up on the side of the pool) and other things in each corner. That is something that you can do on your own as well. I know at my department store up the road, they sell water dumbells. These would be good when you are trying to do aquafit on your own time. They are basically pieces of pool noodles in the shape of dumbells and they help with resistance.
