Halifax has a wonderful new sports facility, and lucky for me, it's really close to where I live! Also lucky for me, I work for the municipality and they offer a corporate membership that is slightly less expensive but also a payroll deduction.
When the Center was still new and exciting I enrolled our family for a membership. Sadly, since the novelty wore off we haven't been using the Center like we should be. I took the kids on Sat for a 2 hour swim (where I treaded water for nearly 45 mins) and decided that we need to be making better use of the facility as a family.
Tonight, Shanan and I are took in a 1 hour aqua aerobics class - and it was awesome. It had been a while since I've taken a water class, and I'd forgotten some of the moves, but we just kept bouncing along and by the end we were sweaty *yes, you can sweat in the pool* and tired. Also, we were chatting up one of the regulars and she was telling us about the other classes - Zumba in the water and cycling in the water!! How much fun does that sound? Next will be deep water aerobics I think! We are going to try to go twice a week, and still fit come Core Essentials in too.
Good workout, eating was half decent (translates into "I didn't eat the chocolate bar I was lusting after all afternoon), and we even brought the kids to the pool! The family that plays together, stays together (however, they are soooo tired and cranky I might be willing to part with them - cheap!)
Later!
