Mermaid Fitness
“When I first heard about mermaid fitness, I thought it would be some “fluffy”
workout class made up for the media, but let me tell you that the mermaid
class at The Del is a REAL workout!! Think Pilates meets aqua aerobics on
steroids. My core was sore for a couple days after the class. We started by
picking out our colorful mermaid tails, and as soon as I slipped mine on, I
immediately began to channel my inner Ariel.
The workout consisted of land and water exercises using the foam water
noodles. Arm and ab resistance training was the primary focus. As we
progressed through the workout, we got back into the pool and tossed our tails
around, swimming in a synchronized motion with all the mermaids. The end of
the class, which consisted of “play time,” was my favorite part. I really felt like
a mermaid, just maybe not as graceful as Ariel. It was a super fun experience,
like nothing I’ve ever done before.
