Deep Water Aerobics

Damn, deep water aerobics really can get your heart rate up. I didn't wear my HRM so I don't know the numbers, but it was definitely a workout.

Lots of the exercise here is based not on your heart rate, in fact for some people they discourage the use of Heart Rate Monitors (I use mine, and they are fine with me doing so). They use a scale called RPE, which stand for Rate of Perceived Exertion.

They also use the "Row Row Row Your Boat" method.

• If you can sing "Row Row Row Your Boat", you are doing light exercise
• If you can say the words with a bit of difficulty, you are doing moderate exercise
• If you don't care if the damn boat is being rowed because you are to busy worrying about breathing, then it is difficult exercise
