Well, they say the swinging action is easy on the joints but I'm worried I might fall off  lol  I've been to the gym before and I liked the weight training and resistance machines but I positively despised aerobics.  I'm not a jump-around kind of person, either. 

 

I put my name on a list for a fall class for beginner's Pilates that's being held at a school which is just a short bus ride away.  I haven't been able to talk to the person who will be the instructor, yet.  From what I gather, Pilates is stretching, etc. and it might be a gentle way for me to start off.  Do you know much about it?

 

I also phoned the pool, which is about six blocks from me, re: aquacize classes but they don't have their fall schedule ready yet.  I think I'd be too embarrassed to be seen in a bathing suit right now, plus I'd have to buy one.
