I recorded this on a Challenge Board, but it was such a Scream, I want to Journal it...so I won't forget the day it happened (if that's even possible).
I went for something different today. Since I was already 'moist' from water aerobics, I came home and strapped on my foam leg weight attachments to do a water workout in my pool (Abs & lower body only). My instructor already concentrates too much on the arms. I used moves that I got from Prevention.com, only today was with weights.
I hadn't used the foam leg weights this year at all~~~and the last time I'd used them, I strapped-on and worked one leg weight at a time. They're really deceiving (light as a feather OUT of the water...nice & weighty IN the water). I thought~~~Okay, I've been working out...I'm gonna go for it and use both at the same time.
After getting in the water, I strapped them on while sitting on the pool ledge...then I jumped in.
I went straight upside down! LMAO!!! My husband came running outside 'cause he said he heard a whole lotta splashing going on. It was Hilarious!!!
I am sooo happy there wasn't a video camera around...I can only imagine what I looked like trying to regain my footing. I don't know what worked my Abs more today...the actual workout or me laughing at myself! Come to think of it, I coulda made a lot of money on America's Funniest Home Videos. That was a missed opportunity, for sure! lol
Anyway...after I collected myself, it ended up being a Great workout. Seems that I got that extra arm workout after all.... Geeeze!

When I first read this, my first reaction was FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE! But now that I've calmed down I can laugh - a little. :)

Thanks Amryk, that's sooo sweet! Honestly, I think I was in too much of a shock to realize what was going on...until it was over! Re-living it in my mind's eye made me laugh, tho. I remember thinking (briefly) SHOOT...I'm alone! :-( Grrr I know better than that! It was really a serious thing to have happened. Thank Goodness for those core exercises, right?! LOL. THAT and having jumped in so close to the inside ledge, near the shallow end! Truly coulda gone a different way! I certainly learned my lesson, tho! ;-)

LOL I could so visualize the whole thing but thank goodness you didn't drown! I do applaud you from going from water aerobics to exercising on your own! Now, that's incentive! :) Thanks for sharing!
