in Fitness and Exercise
Hi guys and gals. I will be starting aqua aerobics tomorrow, Technicaly Ill be swimming doing laps of a pool for starters, then next week will start official aerobics... Anyway, I pretty much havnt moved for about 18 months now, since I found out I have a heart condition and since being given the go ahead for light exercise, I havnt been able to do anything due to a few slipped discs and my facet joints being worn down to almost nothing in my spine. So tomorrow is the day! and I really feel like I need some encouragement for this, I also havr agoraphobia so leabing the house is a challenge. SO with all of that if you could wish me luck and Ill let you know how I go when I get home...
Also should I count this as exercise or is it more a leasure thing?...
Cheers
D

    Definitely count as exercise. Swimming is tiring- I do a lot of it, so believe me. There are several swimming options in the mfp database depending on your effort level. Good luck!

    Good luck with your exercise. It might be hard at first but don't give in, every little bit of effort is worth it in the long term.

    Ok so I went to the pool for about 3 hours (huge accomplishment for me but I did take some valium before I left lol), My support worker came with me and my girls came and just swam around while we did breast stroke for two hours, I can feel my leg, arm and stomach muscles lol and felt really heavy when I got out of the pool...
    Anyway the exercise thing on here says I burned almost 3000 cal! Would that be right?
    Cheers
