Aqua Aerobics – Week 5 Challenge
Today I made new progress on this aqua aerobics. This was the first time I did the noodle routine without holding onto the side of the pool for most of the lesson. Yay! Usually when we started using the noodle, I would inevitably move to the side of the pool to hold onto it so I would not float away. But this time, curious about how others could do it, I also tried to stand away from the side of the pool. To my surprise, I could do it. The secret is to use both hands to balance your body while one of the legs step on the noodle. It…

We were told that we had to stay at the side of the pool because we needed to hold onto something like doing ballet and hold onto the side bar. Then,…

Aqua Aerobics 12 Weeks Challenge To Lose Weight
Last year, my friends had started to join an aqua aerobics group for various reasons, for example getting fit, building muscles, sleeping better at night, fitting into a skinny jeans etc. But the ultimate reason for joining an exercise regime is usually trying to get rib of the fats and cellulites formed on our ever “young” bodies. My friends had sung great praises of aqua aerobics, telling me that it had given them a great work out that surprisingly could sweat a lot, used a lot of strength and built muscles and of course fit better into their clothes. I was sceptical. I was someone who was not crazy…
