Wobbling in the Water

On yesterday I went to my water fitness class that was taught by a different instructor. Boy, oh boy, it was quite a different learning experience.

The instructor was young, and appeared to be in her 20s and looked very fit. She came into the pool area with music blasting as she rolled the sound box in on wheels with hip-hop music playing.

I do not remember her introducing herself to the class, but instead she spoke and went directly into warm ups and her exercise regiment. She was very energetic and had some wonderful aquatic exercises that worked nearly every muscle in my body. In fact, I actually burned 418 active calories during the hour of class.

For the most part, I was able to keep up with the class but got a little winded after 30 minutes into the exercises. So for the first half of the class she showed us how to properly stretch, do jumping jacks, squats, and the rocking chair movements.

We used water-filled dumbbells with all of the exercises including walked the length of the pool with them in hand.

The next half of the class was actually dancing in the water with tunes like the wobble, the Cuban shuffle and other hip-hop songs. Now if any of you are dancers or you have seen the wobble on the dance floor, please tell me how do you wobble in the water? Here are the basic steps of the dance, but the instructor modify them for the water:

Everyone in the class appeared to have a great time especially doing the wobble. It was a little hard for me to keep up because the music goes really fast but nevertheless, it was a fun day full of energy and expectations.
