I've been teaching two water aerobics classes since January. One is an Active Older Adult class. This class is perfect for anyone who has aching joints, arthritis, is overweight or obese, is elderly and who wants to work out in warmer water, with the benefit of water to support weight off their joints. Moving in warm water can reinvigorate the body and help maintain muscle strength and health. For many seniors in the class, it is also a social occasion. They enjoy seeing each other, and the cameraderie of working out together.
My other class is Deep Core Challenge. Participants wear a flotation belt and work out in deep water, in the lap pool. They move constantly doing a specific routine. The body's weight reduces by 90% in the water and lessens weight bearing. Their heart rate is nearly 20 beats less, making exercise safer for those with sensitive cardiovascular issues.
There are many options for anyone interested in a water aerobics class -- Aqua Zumba is another popular class -- working out to music is always a motivator. My classes are at the local YMCA, but other fitness clubs offer classes. Try one! You may find a new!, fun way to exercise!

I'm Baaack! Spring into Spring!
Sorry, I have been absent too long. The point of having a blog is to actually post on the blog, and I have to apologize for being seriously delinquent. I have no excuse....so, let's launch back into it.
May is upon us...Bloomsday is only days away. The weather is finally cooperating and allowing for outdoor activities -- tennis, cycling, walking, jogging, basketball and soccer, to name a few. Are you ready? or are you always ready? Do you slack off all winter and try to do too much too fast in the Spring and pay for it with sore or injured muscles? Or do you maintain a certain level of fitness all year long, ready to ramp it up for your favorite activity?
A personal trainer (like me) is dedicated to working with you and helping you achieve your fitness goals, which can include training for a specific sport or activity you enjoy. I can also help you to live a healthy and better lifestyle - working in your comfort zone. So no matter what your age, you can improve your fitness level, strength and stamina.
Don't be intimidated about just meeting with a trainer (like me) and asking all your questions, and having a free consultation, with a discussion of your goals and concerns.
Hey, here we go! It's Spring, wahoo. Get out there and enjoy it.
(For a limited time, buy two sessions, get one free!!)
