hi, I'm back from acti-fit or aqua-fit....I forget the name of it. At our local pool! It was seriously fun, we did a bunch of different things in an hour and no one made me feel like the odd one out... I recommend checking programs out at your local pool too, it's very relaxing, for any age, and size!
The LA Fitness I just joined offers classes like these for free. I've been considering trying one out, but its freezing outside right now and I don't know if I want to go out in the cold with wet hair.
I absolutely looooove our local deep-water aerobics class! Even when I'm in great shape and can manage 3.5 miles in an hour for lap swim - this class finds all the other muscles and makes 'em scream! The best part of it is that I never feel like I'm risking an injury ... it's just pure exhausted muscles.
