The Start Of Aquafit

First day of many hopefully. Although it hurt like crazy. Had a nice chat with the lady who took the course today, Kathy, and she's suggested wearing socks to make it a bit easier on me. Because of my size I'm very buoyant so have major problems keeping my feet on the floor which means i have to work harder. The socks should at least stop my feet from slipping on the tiles so I won't hurt myself, even if I can only keep my toes on the floor. On the plus side we now know that i'll never drown... :)

Kathy also suggested trying the deep water aquafit because it's harder but the moves aren't as repetitive so I might not hurt so much. Either way i've booked in for the Thursday class to find out. I've also booked myself in for Pilates on Wednesday and a class called Wobbly Workout for next Monday. Wobbly Workout sounds like good fun, it's a gym ball class so no impact and good core muscle workout. Fingers crossed we'll find a good balance of stuff I can do.

I'm also thinking about asking for the wii fit plus for christmas as it's supposed to have many more balance games on it and they strengthen your core, which in turn should ease my back pain.

The exercise has one other bonus which is that it's making me hurt so much I don't want to get up to get food... A whole new way of dieting! :)

That's all my news for now so...
