For the second time in my life, I just about let my machismo get the best of me (and drown my ass)

I was going in to swim this morning at 5:30 - saw the water aerobics class ready to start and thought to myself. Man, if old folks and women can do it... it must be easy....

I of course, decide to go to the deep end and give myself a "real workout" and 15 minutes later, I am flailing around to keep my head above water. It seems that I forgot how sedentary I have been lately.

I've decided for the next couple of weeks I am going to work out mostly in the pool to let my back continue to heal up. If you get the chance to work out in the pool at all, give it a try. It's low impact on your joints, but it can really kick your butt, and you can vary your workout by moving around the pool if the shallow end it too deep for you.

Take care (and keep your head above water)
