Michael and I have a NEW way of exercising!

One of our community pools just opened and it's right across from my home. I consider it our PERSONAL pool because most of the people in the area go to the big pool. It's only 3 to 4 feet so it's great for Michael and his little friends. While watching them the other day I remembered how my Mom and sister went to water aerobic classes during Physical therapy for their knees. I'm having pre-issues with my hip so I thought hmmmmm....

SO in the early morning now, I'm such a COOOOOL Mom, we jump into the pool and run from one end to the other 10 times!! BTW I don't know how to swim so this is the ONLY way I'll make it back and forth, LOL!! It's so much fun and BOY is it work! You don't know how much until later though, during it's so much fun and so easy! Also, it's a great way for us to do something we both enjoy TOGETHER!

That IS awesome excersise!! I used to run 8 to 12 miles a day in high school cross country (believe it or not!). One of the killer days was running in the water!!! That is soo hard!!

Now that it's not a mandatory workout, though, I do love turning on the radio and running in the water. It feels good to get such a good workout!

I took a water aerobics class in college......I was in the best shape of my life during that class. We mostly ran from one end of the pool to the other, just like you're doing. Keep it up!
