AquaFit

Been wanting to try out this AquaFit class ever since I joined the gym. However, always couldn't make it or too lazy to go :P

Already planned to go for the class after my physio session. The session @CGH ended later than I expected and I had to take a cab down so that I could make it for the class. Thankfully got there and was in time for the class! whew!

When I got to the pool, noticed that 3 lanes of the pool had been cordoned for the class while the remaining 2 lanes were left open for the swimmers to continue with their swim. A HUGE group of women had already congregated, chatting & laughing away while waiting for the instructor to arrive. Everyone seemed to know one another and needless to say, I was the odd one out and feeling extremely uneasy.

Started the class with the instructor making us run around the pool. All the ladies were chatting away and frankly, it felt like a market. I know I shouldn't feel this way but I really felt so darn out of place & embarrassed to be in that class! They were making such a din and it really felt like a public pool full of aunties (and one uncle) when this was suppose to be a gym!! So auntie lor the whole atmosphere!! -_-" But having said that, the class seemed to be having loads of fun just laughing with the instructor (they seem to be very chummy with the instructor, prolly attended many of his classes). The effiminate instructor, with a really beautiful smile (what a waste! haiz :P) was just coaching us from the side of the pool most of the time, shouting (in a strict yet fun manner lah) & blowing the whistle at us while commanding us to kick and jump etc. Many times we had to pair up with a partner who will hold on to a foam roller while we administer our kick or jump. Everyone was so enjoying themselves while I just find the whole thing a little bo liao lor -_-" *yawn* Many times I contemplated just getting out of the pool to grab my goggles so that I can go for my own swim, but I felt pai seh to leave the class half-way, so I just grit my teeth and hung on til the end of the class.

All in all not a class I truly enjoyed, but I *might* go for the class again coz this could very well replace my running and kick-boxing classes. I think there are still some impact coz some of the exercies require us to jump up and down but the impact is definitely much lesser. I might just schedule myself to go for this class once a week or fortnight ...

Oh yes, I was surprised to see Fennel doing her swim !! Too bad I was at the class and couldn't stop to chat with her. She left before I finished my class. Hope to catch up with her some other time at the gym.
