Had a good session today with Sophie. The water was the correct temperature today, the first time in around 2 months. It was nice to be able to work hard.

[LittleAnne]

Had a good session today with the other Lisa. The water was a nice temperature today and the air temperature was good also. Let's hope it stays that way.

Can't go next Sunday, Church Parade.

[LittleAnne]

Had a good session today with Lisa, rather than Mandy. The water was a nice temperature today and the air temperature was good also. So it has stayed the same since Sunday.

Booked in for next Wednesday.

[LittleAnne]

From now on I aim to got to aquafit on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Had a good session today with Mandy. The water was cold again though!
Felt quite well in the water, so must be feeling better.

None next week, half-term and I'm in Holland.

http://www.stcloud.org/images/pages/N57/aquafit.gif

[LittleAnne]

It is 1.5 weeks since my last aquafit session. I did try to go last Wednesday, but the club had had a burst pipe and so the pool was closed for several days. Then I've been away, so today was the next oppotunity to go.

Had a good session today with Juli. The water was about right, so that was nice!

Booked in for Monday.

Had a good session today with Mandy. The water was still just the right temperature, so great.

Had an OK session today with someone standing in for Mandy. She was OK, but had quite a quiet voice and so you really had to watch what she was doing.

Booked in for next week.

Booked in for next week.

[LittleAnne]

A couple of weeks since I've been, due to the virus I had. Had a good session today with Paul, standing in for Mandy. Must admit the session really concentrated on toning muscles rather than on aerobic exercise.

No more sessions for 2 weeks as they don't run on Monday and Wednesday afternoons in school holidays.

http://www.stcloud.org/images/pages/N57/aquafit.gif

[LittleAnne]

It was great to be back at aquafit. This afternoon session does not run in school holidays, so it was the first one for a fortnight.

[LittleAnne]

Had a good session today with Paul, standing in for Mandy. However, it does appear that Mandy has left this class and Lisa will normally take it. Must admit the session really concentrated on toning muscles rather than on aerobic exercise, but generally good.

Booked in for next Wednesday.

[LittleAnne]

Good to be back. Had a good session with Kirk, although it was mainly arms and shoulder toning. Water was OK, but the pool was fuller than usual and came above my shoulders.

http://www.stcloud.org/images/pages/N57/aquafit.gif

[LittleAnne]

Had a great session today with Jill. This was a proper aerobic class and I did notice that I was not as fit as I had been.

[LittleAnne]

Had a good session with Kirk, although it was mainly arms and shoulder toning. Water was cooler than of late, so needed more activity to keep warm.

Booked in for next Tuesday. I hope that Lisa is back!

http://www.stcloud.org/images/pages/N57/aquafit.gif

[LittleAnne]

I also went on Friday, but no instructor turned up. Did about 20 minutes exercise in the pool and then got out.

Back to regular Monday afternoon and Friday morning aquafit sessions.

Today we had Deb as our instructor. A new face to me, but was very good. Had a really enjoyable session.

Booked in for next Monday.

[LittleAnne]

I've not really been to the gym since January, so when I visited it last Friday for a short walk on the treadmill I realised how unfit I had become, despite my aquafit sessions. I now aim to go every Wednesday morning.

This is what I did today:

Treadmill - 10 min at 3.5 kph
Two handed Push Downs - 2 sets of 20 at 20 kg
Pull Down forward left arm - 2 sets of 20 at 5 kg
Pull down forward right arm - 2 sets of 20 at 5 kg
Right hand side pull down - 2 set of 20 at 10 kg
Left hand side pull down - 2 sets of 20 at 5 kg
Upright rows - 1 sets of 20 at 10 kg
Rowing machine - 5 minutes at level 6
Felt OK afterwards.

What is good to see is that this equates to almost what I did in January, so now to get better.

Had a great session with Mandy who was back this week. It was so good to see her, but then she dropped the bombshell that next week would be her last. Really disappointed. I wonder who we will have now.
