Water exercise

I live in a rural area, am 66. I wrestle with anxiety/ depression, harder in winter when Im stuck inside too much. My hubby is perfectly content to sit and watch netflix all winter. I see him aging before my eyes. We have discussed this, he see’s no issue. There is an indoor pool 35 miles away that offers water exercise for seniors. Im trying to decide whether or not to go. Would it be worth 70 mile round trip to go have fun for an hour. He wont go and doesnt get why I want to but he is smart enough not to tell me no, lol. I dont know why it is such a hard decision for me to make!!! Any input I would welcome. I feel stupid even asking and should count my blessings I dont have more serious problems.

Update 2/7/20

For you kind people who encouraged me to pursue water exercise, Im happy to report that next tue I am meeting with an old work friend who is taking the class I am interested in and she is going with me to sign up.

Thank you all who nudged my out of my comfort zone💜

Good for you. You live in your body and know what it needs. As my therapist of nearly 40 years ago, would say to us (in group) "Listen to your body". He was right.

I am glad you are going, so glad you have a friend who will be with you, enjoy the heck out of yourself, let your little kid out to play, we are never too old to play. Hope to hear from you after 3/2....Sending love & best wishes with hugs.....Sprinkle 1.....

Wow Hoski. Good for you. I’m so glad you found a way to take the water class. Maybe there’s a slight chance when your husband sees you’re enjoying your class he may want to be more motivated. No guarantees there. But at least he’ll see that you want to cherish life in your golden years.

Enjoy the class! 👏👏👏

Hoski, I am sooo happy you will be starting class soon.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I started at 2days a week,

then 4 and then 6 days. That was my playtime. Nothing like

water to relax the mind and body. Wear sunglasses if they

have large windows, the reflection of the sun can be hard on the eyes.

And even if you don't need them for the sun, it looks cool xx
