Heading Back to the Pool!
Over the next two weeks, I've got to come up with a new workout plan for the Aqua Fitness class I teach at the YMCA. Yes, I'll be back for the first time since March, with new COVID-19 safety restrictions in place.
I believe it will be fairly easy to adjust for the Water Aerobics class, although I will probably teach the class initially without any equipment. I need to look into ways to do toning exercises either body weight or water resistance, though, for the toning portion of the class. We are responsible for cleaning all the equipment that's used between classes, so I think that, at least initially, I'd like to see if we can get by without any for this particular class.
My boss tells me we will be allowed to use the special Silver Sneakers Splash boards for the Silver Sneakers Splash class, which is great. Those boards are important for balance for many of the students. The big difference for this class will be that they will have the boards for the entire class, since they won't be able to leave their spot until the end of the session. I'm going to have to look into ways to incorporate the splash board into the aerobic activities, as well as the toning activities when we would normally use it.
Wish me luck!
