Aquasize - Not just for old ladies anymore!

The other day I decided to try "Aqua Bootcamp" for the first time. It's something I've been meaning to try for awhile now but haven't gotten around to it and  think I was secretly intimidated to try it by myself. For this "passion project" of mine, I've decided it is very important to experience these new things on my own. If I go with friends I may not know if I am truly enjoying myself because I like what I am doing, or if it's because I am sharing it with people I enjoy.
For some reason I have a fear of being alone, not knowing my surroundings and looking like an idiot. For example, hubby and I are in the foodcourt and we want meals from different vendors. He will want to split up and meet at the table. Instead of separating from each other, can't I just wait with him while he orders and then vice versa?! I have some strange fear of not being able to find him afterwards! Weird! Does anyone else feel this way?
What I'm trying to get at is that I was nervous going in to the rec center. I didn't know where the class was being held and I felt like I was lost in the foodcourt! But its funny how things work out. I ended up seeing a girl I knew who works as a lifeguard at the pool. She was able to direct me and ease my nerves.
I'm not going to lie. When I think of Aquasize, the thought of old ladies wearing swim caps and floral bathing suits comes to mind!


FYI - its SO not like that! This was a "bootcamp" in deep water. No kicking and splashing around in the shallow end! However, I was the only one who came in a bikini! I may have said a little prayer that my bottoms wouldn't fall off after I noticed that everyone was in a one-piece! After saying "amen," I jumped in.
So, the verdict is...I loved it! It was a great workout! The best thing about this kind of workout is that you never get too hot. It was fun and my body really felt it the next day. I would definitely recommend it and I plan on doing it regularly along with my usual gym routine.

Ps. My bikini bottoms stayed securely glued to my butt.
I, Kim, vow to never be caught in a one-piece swimsuit until I am 35...make that 45.
