| Lorraine with Lura |
A group of participants meet three
times a week to get in shape.
The gals position themselves in their
favourite spots in the pool.
Lura call the session to order with a
whistle or a 'Hi You'.
A 10 minute warm-up of yoga balance
poises.
Deeper water helps with balance, in
shallow there is hopping around
We smile as we squat, raising our arms
and positioning our legs in difficult positions.

The 25 minutes of cardio gets
difficult as we pick up our weights.
Spot jogging, with arms and legs flying
in all directions.
Getting in shape for winter X-country
and down-hill skiing and summer golf.
Kick, squat, kick butt, wash clothes,
agitator, arm pulls, elbow to knee-single and double.
Ending this session with jogging so
fast until you get red in the face.
On to the noddles for 20 more minutes
often brings out laughter.
Chair, Foot-stool, relax, scissors and
crunches.
Five repeats that is followed by 50
bent-leg side to side.
More leg work, one at a time,
followed by arm pulls -- left, right and centre.
Back to the weights -- more arm work
out 'Up-Down-Out- Out-In-In-Up'.
A choirs of counting can be hear.

ARE WE DONE YET?
Finally it is time for our cool-down.
Leg -back-foot-flat and
foot-to-the-ceiling stretches.
Everyone puts their backs against the
side of the pool for hip and knee across the body stretches.
Biceps, triceps, shoulder rolls and
neck stretches.
The funniest of all are the facial
muscle work-out with a song of A-E-I-O-U.
A big self -hug as Lura says 'Good job
ladies'.
Some ladies rush off home while other
relax in the hot tub.
But, Lura, after six months of work-out
our shapes have not changed!!!!
We thanked Lura at an Appreciation Luncheon
