I tried a new class last night at the Y - Deep water fitness. I loved it. I ran my scheduled 2 miles on the dreadmill and then off to the Y. You wear a flotation belt around your wast and you basically run in the water for 60 minutes while doing different things with your arms. In the end there is some ab work too. A very good all over body workout. I used to do a body pump class which is weight lifting to music and I really like it. But my instructor left the Y and I left the class because the new instructors are horrible and I cannot tolerate horrible when I am working out.
I will continue to do this 3 days a week - T, TH, and either Sat or Sunday depending on which day I make my long run day. If I still like it in a couple of weeks I am going to by special shoes that will give me more resistance in the water. I think this burned about 800+ calories but it felt like more than that... I was exhausted in a good way. It is great to go workout and have that feel good feeling... it is what keeps you going back.

Why buy special shoes? I'll send you some of my size 14's. That will give you some extra resistance and I'll only charge you $3.50.
So what do you do with your arms? Your hair? Nails?
size 14? Seriously? I don't know how I would keep them on... you also do movements with your arms that give resistance in the water to work your back, biceps, triceps etc. It is like lifting weights but you are in water. You also use dumb bells that float. My hair.. well it gets wet, and my nails.. who cares.
