    Find a good water aerobics class! (Or some good books or web sites, of course.) The water provides resistance and can completely change how exercises feel and how much effort they take. You can rinse out milk or juice jugs and use them like weights to increase resistance -- empty for under water or full for lifting above, or halfway full for a combination.

    Oooooo! I love swimming from one end of the pool using only my arms and on the way back only using my legs! It looks funny but it burns the goo!

    My friend water jogs. She runs in circles around her pool for 30 minutes and then treads water against the current. Really great workout!
