First, I'd just like to say that there are no cute
maternity swimsuits, at least not at Target. I decided to start going to the Aqua-fit classes at my gym so I could sneak in some exercise into my weekly routine. So I tried on my sporty swim suit (the one that I bought for my swim lessons a few years back) and wouldn't you know it, it doesn't fit! Big surprise there, right? I headed over to Target to check out the selection of maternity swimsuits and boy was that a mistake. Most of the swimsuits were WAY too big
and ghastly looking, which are also descriptions I would use for the maternity clothes I've seen to-date. Why can't pregnant women have cute
affordable maternity clothes and bathing suits?? Anyway, I decided to forgo the maternity swimsuits and buy a regular bathing suit, one size up. The swimsuit of choice? A tankini! My very first tankini! And it is wonderful! Of course, my belly is starting to peek from the bottom now, but that's another blog post...Tankini--LT approved!
Since I am on the subject, I started taking an Aqua-fit class and I've decided that this is the best pregnancy workout ever! The pool is nice and warm (it's indoor), has a view of the San Francisco skyline and I feel weightless in the water! Weightless! I can run, twirl, jump and keep my balance without my big belly getting in the way or hurting my back!We use buoys and noodles to work our core, legs and arms and we even manage to get some cardio workout as well! And the stretches underwater make me feel so flexible! If you are pregnant or ever plan to be pregnant, I highly recommend these classes! They are simply amazing. Aqua-fit classes: LT approved!
