Dancing At Home!



Recommended Posts

I have a crazy work schedule that calls for little sleep, when I have to work both jobs. This is one of the main reasons why I went with the sleeve. Having a gym membership does me no good if I'm too worn out to make it out there (20 minute drive from home), but I still want to do my hour of working out.

I already own a ps3, so I recently purchased the move bundle, a few dance games, and a fitness game. I'm stupid excited to get all of this stuff because I love to dance.

I'll let everyone know how it goes! :)

Good for you! I don't blame you. I dance at home in the mirror every night before my shower. I put the radio on a hip hop station and I do some of the moves I learned from Hip Hop abs and Zumba. My waist has started cinching in.

Speaking of which.... I need to put up my big mirror! :D

Find something you love to do and go for it.... Otherwise, another great idea is to test out different activities until you find one you like. Every day can be a new activity. :)

I just ordered a couple of dvds; a Leslie Sansone and a Richard Simmons. I figured with winter coming I won't be out walking the roads or the walking/biking trails in the local park. I'm also 40 minutes from the nearest mall. So I thought these would be good to get me through til spring.

I also ordered a pedometer. Should all arrive later this week. Can't wait to dance with Richard!

Leslie's videos are awesome! I was losing weight with her videos and I know I'll go back to them. I think I'll change it up like you're going to do, between the dancing and walking. These two things are great ideas, especially if you can't lift weights just yet. :)

Good luck on your workouts!

Thanks. I am only cleared for walking at this point, the doc will probably clear me for more exercises at the end of the month. I have been sitting on my buttski for so long that I figured these would be a good way to get myself up and moving without too much difficulty. I am not fit enough for zumba or other dvds like that -- hope to be eventually.

I found a great site that sells exercise dvds, free shipping over $25. But the thing that makes this site so good (besides low prices) is that they have video samples of all the dvds and rate them for fitness levels. It made it easy to match up videos with my level (or lack of) fitness. Here is the link:

But ya gotta open them to have them do any good for you :P

Thanks for the tip! As soon as I get the energy I want to get into kickboxing. That's my workout goal. Those videos will definitely help condition all the right muscles.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
