Naya was rather enjoying the water exercises. She kept moving as she heard the professor ask another question. Many answers had been given about the benefits of water aerobics so she decided to tackle the second question. ”Exercising in a group helps keep you honest. You may not feel like working out on a particular day or you may feel like slacking off on your exercises. Your group mates won’t let you get away with slacking. They will keep you going.” Also, if you exercised in a group, the focus wasn’t totally on you. That could definitely be a plus for some people.

Now it was time to move on. The professor had come up with a fun activity. They got to toss around a beach ball, but with a twist. Naya listened to the rules of the game. There were some colors she wouldn’t mind getting and others that she hoped to avoid. Only time would tell. Continuing to exercise in the water, she waited for her turn. As her classmates gave their instructions, she did Isla’s straddle jump and clapped her hands above her head as Carsyn said. When the ball came to her, Naya caught it and looked down at her right thumb. Yellow. She could deal with that. Since the ball would be in her way, Naya tossed it to the next person. Then she started to do her jumping jacks, counting 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Done.
