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.

smell of the wood campfire creating an intimate family moment. The pageantry
of making s’mores started with anticipation and varying personal techniques
and quickly turned us all into self-proclaimed chef masters who challenged
each other to produce a superior bite. We left that evening with campfire
stories, daily reflection and fond memories that we will cherish for years.
