NSV of sorts

I had some car trouble yesterday, so had to get the car from the shop
instead of going to water aerobics. I was so disappointed as I knew I would
not make it there on time, but I got home changed just like I always do and
went to class anyway. I was half hour late, but still managed to get half
of the class done. In the past, I would have just said forget it and moved
on. Funny thing is now I am scheduling my life around water aerobics, not
scheduling exercise around life. I am so happy to have found an activity
that I love and look forward to as much as possible. I really wish they had
classes 7 days a week, but I guess I should be happy that they do have them
6 days a week.

That is great! I wish that I could have that attitude about going to the Y.
I have tried water aerobics but I just could not get into it. I think it
had something to do with the instructor. I should give it another try. I
wish that the Y had an intro pilates class or a beginning yoga class. I
have asked but they "don't have time" for the beginner classes---doesn't
make sense to me when you look at their schedule. Maybe this summer.

Judy,

I thought the same thing for the water aerobics, why don't they have
beginner classes? Well, I went to the intermediate class and have been in
the advanced class and they are not much different, just depends on the
intensity of the workout. Some are more intense than others and they
welcome all new people with open arms. They are great there. You might try
the yoga or pilates that is offered and see if you really need a beginner
class.

Also, I have never felt this way about exercise, so this is a BIG deal for
me. But as my mom told me, you loved the pool as a kid, so it would make
sense that you still love it. It is something that I enjoyed so much as a
kid, this is just bringing back happy childhood memories, of playing with my
friends in the pool and all the ladies at the gym, have been so nice and
friendly and the best part is they are all my age or older and also all of
us need to lose weight. So I don't feel like an outsider looking in the
way I would in a step or spinning class.

Debbie,

That's not an NSV 'of sorts' Thats a proper NSV! Congratulations. Once
you love something like water aerobics you are really on track

Finding exercise that brings you so much joy is truly a gift. That it's
also good for you is a bonus.
