Couple of months ago I joined in with the other old ladies bouncing around in the shallow end of the pool. Before that, I had always said I'd never be one of those. Previously, I only swam laps, but bad form gave me a hurt back and I gave that up.

Have to say that the aerobic part of the aquatic exercise was surprisingly intense. It was hard work and I was beginning to enjoy it. I could tell a difference in my body composition. However, I have some skin issues and the chlorine made them flare up. Regretfully, I had to stop going into the water.

If you don't have issues with chemicals, I highly recommend water resistance exercise. It's amazing and I wish I could have continued. Have to satisfy myself now with walking, yoga and stretching.
