Everybody into the Pool !

My condo pool will be open until Thursday, September 15 !  I am having a 'devil of a time' (I got that phrase from Professor Steve) trying to find a relatively inexpensive replacement for my new fav workout - treading water.



My gym closed about a month ago. (Yes, due to their policies and how I was forced to pre-pay my last month - I can technically go to one of their other gyms until mid-November.)  Old gym had a pool - nothing great but at least I could tread. 

I have looked at the Recreation Center at next city/township over.  Fees are double for non-residents and they have NO classes whatsoever. I've looked at a private country-club type place, located on the other side of the township.  I need to be age 50 to join. @@  (I'm calling tomorrow to see if there are any exceptions as I just want to use the pool.)  The local high schools do not look promising.  I am trying to stay away from Lifet*me Fitne$s as I just don't think I would fit in.  And, I'm sure they are expensive.  


Here, I have finally found a workout I like, I don't sweat, it's easy on the ol' joints, etc. and I'm going to be booted from it in a few more days ...

    I love, love, love the pool! You can burn a lot of calories in a little time. Too bad our pool closed after Labor Day! Swim for me!

    I hope you find some place to tread. If not, you might need to get an eliptical until next summer. You might find out that you don't mind the sweat that badly. I am starting to like it!

    Aw, Cece, I'm sorry you're losing your fave workot. Maybe the country club will take pity on you! I'm with Robyn, though try an elliptical. It's easy on the joints too...

    I hate that you're losing your pool, I know how much you have been having success with that. I think you'll find that the sweat isn't as bad as all that. I actually love the sweat now. :)

    Ohhhhh I am sooo sorry you're losing your pool - You love it so much.. Maybe some yoga or pilates?? I have a few old tapes that I just love to use when I don't have the motivation to leave these four walls... I am sure there are better ones out there too...

    It sucks when you finally find a groove and something screws it up. You may want to check out Lifetime Fitness. You won't know how you'll like it until you go. When I joined LA Fitness, I was really nervous because I had heard it's a meat market and people only go to socialize, etc. etc. What I found couldn't be further from it.

    It stinks that your pool is closing when you found an exercise you like. Now that it's getting cooler, maybe try walking (or if you don't want to go outside try Leslie Sansone's Walk Away The Pounds...I used to do it a few years ago and it's a pretty good workout).

    Good luck!
