I blamed the weather, I also blamed my blog writing and even blamed Sean for being home due to the\u00a0closing of the Tierra Del Sol golf course\u00a0for six months.\u00a0 Unfortunately it really boiled down to I was lazy.\u00a0 I got in a very comfortable rut and convinced myself that I was retired and I could do anything I wanted to do, until I went to the Doctors for my routine check-up.\u00a0 He looked at my numbers and my chart and said you stopped exercising.\u00a0 The look on my face gave me away and I\u00a0sheepishly had to agree\u00a0with him.\u00a0 So I started back and I have to say my favorite is deep water, but there are many, many classes everyday at all the sports pools. Most are in the morning and you can find them all listed in\u00a0Thursday&#8217;s Recreation News under\u00a0schedule of pool activities.\u00a0\u00a0When I entered the pool the first time after so long, I\u00a0was furious with myself as I had forgotten how much I loved it.\u00a0 I highly recommend this form of exercise\u00a0to anyone who likes the water.\u00a0 If you&#8217;ve thought you might like to\u00a0try it, just jump in once and I guarantee you you&#8217;ll come back for more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;the water aerobics class begins.\u00a0 Within 15 or 20 minutes, had I been able to take a picture, the pool would have been full of exercisers and their paraphernalia which ranges from shoes to noodles to weights to waist flotations and\u00a0to arm flotations.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t want to forget to mention, and thank, the instructors, who [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1868"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1868\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1870,"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1868\/revisions\/1870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
