Gotta love being a whippersnapper!

So this morning was Aqua Bootcamp.  I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the "bootcamp" bit put me in the mind of super intensity and maybe having to tread water for long periods of time and lots of water jogging and such.  Instead, I show up and I'm the youngest person there - by about 30 years.  It was actually a lot of fun though.  By keeping my weights and my noodle under the water during the exercises I could dramatically increase the resistance and make it challenging enough.  Still wasn't a hard workout by any means, but it got my heart rate going.  I stayed in the pool for an extra hour after the class to just make sure I got some good cardio in.  BTW - did you know water jogging burns about 600 calories an hour?  Pretty sweet... :)  Next step, buying a one piece because bikini bottoms are not conducive to all that jumping around!
