the lifeguard encouraged me to water aerobics yesterday

"I can get you a noodle if you would like to try the water aerobics class...they wouldn't mind a latecomer.", said the lifeguard...I almost collapsed at the proposition, and gently responded, "ME in WATER AEROBICS! Are you NUTS?!"
As I swam past the class--several of them were actually just floating there...literally dangling in the water. Then others were totally busting their butts, really working it to "What's love got to do it?" by Tina Turner. It was great.
Immediately I thought of all of you--especailly the opposing viewpoints of Shaky and Laineybug...(the very question might have been the final breaking point for Shaky at his pool, whereas Laineybug, on a special kind of day, might have considered the invitation).
Nonetheless...it was hysterically funny to me--and only all of you would appreciate why.
Have a great swim!!

You are right... you get out what you put in... a lot of the water aerobic folks at our pool do bust their ass.
A couple of weeks ago the regular water aerobics teacher, who happens to be a nurse practictioner, was going to be away at a conference all week. I was asked to fill in for her. I started the Tuesday class with the usual warm up/stretch stuff then moved into the aerobic exercises and, started talking to the class about how most lap swimmers feel about water aerobics. To my surprise that seemed to motivate them... I pushed them harder than the regular teacher ever pushed when I do the class and I watched the pace clock to make sure we kept our heart rate up for 20 minutes. I even saw some faces getting red and that scared me a little bit. Afterwards they thanked me for a good class. On Thursday, the class was somewhat smaller... hummmm I wonder... maybe Shakey is right in some cases.
to each his own,
