How it all started

Hello! I wanted to elaborate a little on why this blog was developed.  In order to do that I wanted to go back to how I began my lifelong passion with water fitness. When land aerobics first became popular back in the 80's, I dutifully stomped along with my instructor on a hardwood floor.  It was sweaty, hard on the joints, and frankly, not a lot of fun.  Then we were told we needed to add weight training. I hit the machines in the gym.  It was okay, but I did not like the results.  Despite my best efforts, I was gaining muscles and was not achieving the lean toned look that I wanted.  I found my way to a local pool and was hooked! Here was an environment that allowed me to work at my own pace, offered great resistance, had fun music, great toys and endless variety. I got the toned body I was searching for and felt energized after a work out. These days, I like to feel that I am 'everywoman's' instructor…not a spring chicken... but one with experience where it counts and the enthusiasm to motivate other! That's how I got here. Now, I am 56, retired from a job after 30 yrs,  lead 6 water fitness classes a week, and wrote a book. <grin> I hope I have lots of interested visitors and look forward to a talking to you!       Dry Is Not An Option  Water Fitness to Go!    Illustrated exercises you can use today Book by Norma J.
