April 1 water exercise!

This!!! We must be active, but we must do our own progression!

People talk about “impact exercise” as if it’s all or nothing - like you MUST do high impact exercise.
But bone‑loading exists on a continuum — and where you start matters.
Research suggests that impact exercise can improve bone strength, and that higher magnitude forces may be effective.
BUT you should prepare your bones, muscles, and joints by increasing the forces gradually.
If you wanted to try running, you wouldn't run a marathon on day 1. If you have never done exercises involving high muscle or ground reaction forces, you shouldn't start with high impact.
Some people may never progress to the far right (to high impact) — and that’s OK.
💬 Where would you place yourself on this continuum right now?

Thank you, donors! 4 bags full of toys went to Dundee Fire Starion for the Toy and Joy program! Plus, over 350 socks/underwear items were donated for Nancy’s group. Mind you, there still is a need for boys/men sizes of socks/underwear. Nancy has a box in the pool lobby, if you choose to donate further. Again, THANK YOU!

The address (and one elf today) is on the poster in the lobby!

Those who would like to still participate in a gift exchange, we will support you!

Thankfully, our pool is indoors! So remember our potluck Christmas lunch coming up on Friday, December 12, at 1:00? All water exercisers are welcome! We've been discussing our usual gift exchange, and this year we are changing it! Instead of the gifts for each other let's all bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to the TVF&R Toy and Joy Program! Toy and Joy is requesting sports or educational toys for all ages. So bring two donations -- the toy, plus for Nancy, the socks/underwear donations. Spread the word! I'll be back at deep water on December 8!
