After lurking here for years and finally joining in, I have to tell you, you have singlehandedly brightened my days!:D Your knowledge, humor and kindness shines through! Have a great day and a great weekend!

I have also lurked here for quite awhile and very much enjoy your post too, Aquajock. I have learned so much from you - I problably would have given up on Interval Max a long time ago except that your posts inspired me to keep trying. I can now do it with no modifications and no stopping! Thank you!!!

RE: Attn: Thank you so much!

Thanks to you both! That was a needed upper for me! I'm working on an ongoing stalking case right now that both gives me the willies AND a sense of futility . . . it is nice to know I can do a bit o' good somewhere!

Keep the faith - and the plyo moves!

Thanks again!

I wanted to chime in on this too.

I find you a great inspiration, role model and hero(ine). On top of that, you appear to be incredibly well-rounded (including athletic, smart, witty, friendly, etc.) and I think that is awesome.

Besides that, I was a competitive swimmer (Were/are you?) so I dig your name.

How does it feel to be famous?

Thanks for all you do for us,
Shelley :)
 
RE: Hey, Shelley - "Dogonix"!

You are too nice!

Although I saw a lot of pool time in my early years I was never a competitive swimmer - in fact I was never a competitive anything (more like a Last-One-Picked-For-Anyone's-Team type). However, I've been a devoted aqua aerobics instructor for the past 5-1/2 years, and because I'm fairly aggressive and intense in the workout I craft for me and my participants, I always liked "Aquajock".

Aqua instruction, and participation in these wonderful forums, provide me with a means to give away what I WISH I'd gotten when I was younger - encouragement by information, motivation by showing and telling how and why rather than fluffy aphorisms and mean-spirited criticisms. At times I wonder if I don't take the whole fitness thing too seriously, and then I see the desperate measures vulnerable people are willing to take with diet and exercise and then I don't doubt my commitment. There's too much cr@p disinformation floating around out there; I like to put forth the plain simple understandable truths whenever I can.

Thank you so much again for your kind words! Cyber-See-Ya soon!

As an e-penpal of the A-jock's, I can tell ya this chick has it on the ball! Had I cyber-met her years ago, I would have been a big fan of aqua-robics, rather than one who dismissed it as an easy breather.

I've been hounding Annette to make a video or do a CEU course to show the possibilities for and benefits of intense aqua based exercise--no luck yet (yes, A-j, I'm up to my manipulative tricks again!).

You go, girl!

OK, OK, I'm chiming in, too, because I lurk a lot more than I post and I <<always>> read what you write, Aquajock - your poetry and prose. In fact, whenever I do plyo-jacks I think of you.

Happy Friday!
