After a 1 mth hiatus, I finally returned to the gym and made a big splash – well kinda - I went for my first Aqua Fit (AF) class
To be honest my preconception of AF is that it’s an easy, fun – water aerobics class that mums/aunties/tai-tais do (my mum’s a fan of AF)
Well I can tell you AF ain’t just about splashing water for an hour!!!
The dear instructor likes to teach ‘commando’ style ie. lots of screaming, fierce/sarcastic correction – but with lots of passion and fun!
The lesson mainly consisted of combat moves – kicks and punches (in the water of course). I informed the instructor of my recent op, so he gave me much-easier options (thankfully! otherwise I’d be subjected to a lot of yelling too!).
After my first attempt of exercise after the op, I felt reaLLy great and extremely famished (like going on the fast before my op!!!)
Anyways I’m looking forward to the next AF on Tues at OGS with Jan

You’ve inspired me! I’ve always wondered whether aqua aerobics would be a good workout
Jen and I have started doing laps at the Riverton Leisureplex. We’re enjoying it!
