United StatesOK 8 weeks today and my bravery decides to make an appearance. I had been looking into water aerobics classes so I went and toured the Family Y near where I live. I found out that they offer Aqua Zumba as well as line dance classes, several levels of yoga, several levels of Zumba as well as really nice equipment. 
So after discussing it with my hubby, we both decided to join!! I jumped into a class called Fit After 50 today and did the entire class. It was a lot of stretching, using light weights and bands as well as working on balance. And tomorrow is my first Aqua Zumba class, WOOHOO!!
I am going to start out doing the line dance class on Tues, hubby and I are going to do Silver Sneakers on Wed and then Aqua Zumba on Thursday.:rolleyes: I plan to try to start yoga a little later on, just need to get a mat first. 
@Jp9294 Jackie, just wanted to let you know that you were my motivation to give this a try. Here's hoping that I am not undertaking too much to start.
I am going to let my body be my guide and be sure to ice afterward for the first few times just to be sure. 
To top that off, I didn't sleep good last night as usual,
so I have managed to stay up all day 
so far, and will try to wait til at least 9 to go to bed tonight. Here's hoping it changes my crazy sleep schedule.

I just got home and am going to ice just to be sure. Was a little stiff when I first got out of the car but no pain. I feel pretty sure I will have some muscle soreness later this evening or tomorrow simply because I haven't exercised in a while. I am tired but overall feel great and actually feel like that was my first step toward normalcy. 
I can hardly wait to get back to spin and Zumba. I had to quit doing Zumba before my surgery. I just couldn't do it anymore. I like your new picture, too.
.You must be feeling better mama...one sexy picture!!!!! You look GREAT!!!!! Well I returned to work this week AND I AM EXHAUSTED!!!!!!
..I almost stopped today to buy one of this five hour energy drinks...but decided not to...just came home and took a nap
..Feel like a little old lady at the end of the day
,,feeling so tired BUT NO HIP PAIN!!!! YAH!!!!!! I am still somewhat stiff at times...sitting at work is not really good yet so I get up and do a lot of stretching.Everyone in work is so funny...JoAnne you don't seem like you old self HAHAH..REALLY .Well you have your hip bone sawed lol...good grief...I thought I was doing a pretty good job of acting.. oh you know.. ALL BETTER...lol...Im sure it will come...Its the little things I see. Like I have a small dog gate at the bottom of my staircase to keep my dog downstairs....well now when I get to the last step I just swing my leg over it and I'm like wow...!!! I did it and didn't even think about it.. I am starting pt on Monday so hopefully having someone make me move when I really don't feel like it will help with the range of motion. I see you are dong Zumba..WOW.maybe I need that to sap the life back into me..lol Over all though you were right my friend,,,I did the right thing..My life I know will now be good..You look and sound great,,,and as always...thank you my friend,,,hugs xoxox
