Why does my water aerobics class have mostly senior citizens?

I am the only person under fifty in my morning water aerobics class. Why? The rest of the pool has younger people swimming laps. Don't they want to join in the exercise?

Senior citizens often enroll in water aerobics classes because it is a good way to exercise and is a lot easier on their joints than many other types of exercise. It is a low-impact activity that helps them maintain some of their dexterity as well as help relieve some of the pains associated with stiff joints and such.

Can you please stroke mine and Kobe Bryant's ego?

I am 33 and turned to water aerobics to tone up and lose weight without killing myself on land. The water is ideal with 12x resistance and 90% less gravity (assuming your head is out of the water). I struggled with finding a challenging enough routine as the one instructed in my area was not hard enough. I bought 2 different water aerobics books off of Amazon.com and typed up the names in a plan and laminated it with a kit from walmart. Now I have a MWF full cardio plan and a T/TH stretching toning plan that I can clip to my suit to help me remember. I work out for about 70 minutes every day. I have not been in pain from my bulging back discs and have noticed a def. improvement in muscles and flexiblilty. I am also losing more weight. Encourage others that aren't elderly! Get moving and invite someone.
