Exercise, Exercise, Exercise!!!!!

Well, I enjoyed my aqua class so much last night that I decided to get up this morning and go to another one!! Monday aquafit classes are somewhat different to the ones I go to on wednesdays, thursdays, occasionally fridays and sundays. For starters they are in an ultra posh leisure centre in Solihull, and they are deep water aqua aerobics, which means you don't touch the bottom at all (unless you inadvertantly sink!!) so you are completely buoyant the whole time. The class is comprised of mainly mature ladies (60+ I would guess), and I am the only person there under 40 I think!! But they are a friendly lot, so it's fine. Most of the other ladies wear floatation belts, but I don't use them as I am quite a good swimmer, and I figure that my flab will keep me buoyant enough!! It is hard work, and I was sweating when I got out of the pool, but I felt great and it was well worth it for the 4.5 bonus points for the 50 min session, and an extra 1 bp for doing 10mins non stop power lengths after the class had finished. That means i've managed to clock up 9.5 bp's in the last two days alone!! Wooo!! Go me!!! I will end up eating some of these points though, as in the past when I have tried to be clever and save them all, I have ended up sts or not losing as much as I would have liked, and yet when I have eaten them all, often ended up losing more weight. It's a delicate balance which i'm yet to understand fully! I'm gonna go and have a hunt around for my pedometer now, as it seems to have gone missing, and I am going for a walk with a friend in a short while and would like to earn some more carefully calculated bp's (I don't trust myself with estimating!). I suppose I better dig out my walking shoes too. Just hope the rain stops for a while. I've got wet enough for one day!!
