Noon Hydro Power (Deep) Is Best!

I like that she didn't make us go into the therapy pool to do stretches. We exercised in the deep water for the full hour. Maybe it's because the therapy pool was closed. Also, this class gave me the best exercise because it was more vigorous and consistent. In addition to aerobics, we also did abs and stretches. I "jogged" around the perimeter of the deep end several times after the class ended. I guess in some ways, it's good to go into the therapy pool afterwards because it helps you to warm up. Today's teacher will play music on Thursdays. She's excellent!

Yesterday evening I tried the Supreme Water Workout (Shallow) but that's more impact and I stayed on my tiptoes to protect from hitting my heel on the pool bottom. I really liked the shallow water teacher and the music that she played but it may be best to stick with the deep water for a while.

I walked from the senior center parking lot today to the County Clerk's office for early voting. My foot did OK but when I tried to walk completely normal, it didn't feel entirely healed.

I'm going to go to the LA Fitness Center a few times on a day pass to try out their classes and cardio machines.

Had grandson over briefly this afternoon. He was good.
