Aquatic Tai Chi, Salsa and Hula Dancing

[Guest guest]

Hi Helen,

You will be amazed at how much exercise can be done in the pool. One of

our trainers taught some Tai Chi movements in water; then one of the

PTs taught us Salsa dancing a few years back and recently a few of us

just started our own Hula dancing sessions in the pool (this is hard

facing into a 3-4 mile current!)

There is always some new movement or exercise to be added; our trainers

and PTs are constantly going to workshops, learning from each other,

learning from us, and on occassion those of us in aquatics see people

in the gym do things, and we try to adapt the exercise into water.

While I have my solid one hour workout pretty tightened, I take time

out every 3 days or so to break up the 'routine' with something new. I

guess this is why I love aquatics so much, I never get bored. I get a

good cardio/muscle building workout with it all too.
