Feeling a little fretful, Mish and I signed up to an aqua aerobics class at the Latchmere Leisure Centre after work yesterday. Would there be a whole lot of uber fit people? Are we going to be able to keep up? Was the instructer going to be a steroid-filled muscle Nazi? Initially, there was only two people signed up which was a little worrying as it meant that we couldn't just blend into the background, but when it came to it, there were around ten other people. The instructor was this lovely woman who kept us entertained, and certainly looked like she was having as much fun as we were; initially you just feel so ridiculous so we were giggling away, but as the class progressed, the more intense it became and the more water resistance resisted; there were points where my muscles were definitely planning a revenge. It was a little problematic as I couldn't see without my glasses, and if the lively instructer was yelling comments my way I couldn't tell, so I made Mish come to the front with me so that everyone else could watch us make fools of ourselves. I geuss aqua aerobics has a certain nerdy old people connotation, and to be fair there was certainly no pretentiousnious or snobby gym junkies, which makes it absolutely perfect for a geekorama* like me : )
