Men! Has HE tried it?? My husband put it on the computer for me so I can play it in a continuous loop on the TV. While he was working on it, he watched it quite a few times and THINKS it looks easy, but has yet to try it!!
I'm used to mirroring from Zumba, so my rights are her lefts and the sevens go all over the place!
Are you going to buy a little dress and sash for your video?
He tried it...and by tried I mean flopped around the living room like a crazy person! No dress and sash, but I will make sure to wear a bra ( I've been practicing in my PJs this far)!!0 -

I killed my hike this morning. I took the fewest breaks ever and felt strong the whole way. I ate a ton of fruits and veggies today. All of the rainbow was included. I didn't get to practice the dance today, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do before my big facebook debut!! Keep it up team We're almost to Ireland!!0

Have a great day everyone!0 -

I've been enjoying reading the thread too. Proficient with the dances, no. But give all seven videos a try . they are short!! The answer to the Irish food dilemma is Potatoes!!! Any kind at any meal! When we were in ireland. we were served them with every meal regardless of what we ordered. even when we weren't in touristy areas the potatoes appeared on the table.0

@120maggie, what you are saying is that I can eat a potato, in any form and that counts as an Irish food?
My co-worker made "Irish Potatoes" which is a candy that started in Philly. I don't think that would count.0 -
What I want to know is if @Diana6ft remembered to wear her bra when making her Irish Dance Facebook Video?!?

Do you have a phone you can carry while you walk? There is a free app. called cardio trainer that I use that works great! You can select the type of exercise you want, the intensity of the work-out, and it will record steps, time, distance, etc. You can pause in your walking and then resume when you start back up as well. You can even play music through it! See if it is available in your Google play store. Let me know how it goes!ahawkins494 wrote: »Hey, so i have a fitbit and have received a friction burn on my wrist and am scared to wear it...

There is a product called "bodyglide"; a lot of triathletes and some runners use it. However, you could also try using deodorant, a little vasoline, or even some cooking spray applied to the area(s) that rub. I know it sounds weird, but people actually do it, to prevent that very problem.
Thanks for your help!!!!!!!! I think i'm going to keep trying the fitbit on the other wrist and see if it happens there. I used to use my phone but i wear dresses to work all of the time and couldn't get it to work. I will definitely try putting some vaseline under the fitbit. I think that would help a lot!0 -
This is too funny! I just spontaneously broke out into the Irish dance at work!
Of course I only did the threes, & the point, toe, hop, but it still impressed my audience of two!!

I helped at work at an Irish culture event for elementary school students, and they were learning Irish step dancing, of course I joined in! Does this count as the Irish dance videos?! Haha0
-
Well I did the videos, sort of. I went through each of them and attempted the moves and sort of followed along. Hope that's all I need to do. It wasn't good. Not only am I totally uncoordinated, I also have an ankle issue. It hadn't occurred to me that it would be an issue, but I discovered pretty quickly it was. Not pretty at all! I'm really hoping for something other than dancing next week!0

Of course!! That's live, even better than videos! Also, count the time you spent doing it in your exercise log for today! I hope your corn beef and cabbage turned out!

Congrats on making it to Ireland team!!!!!0 -
Still eating through my rainbow and working out when possible with company in town. I will be MIA over the weekend to Branson, MO with several girlfriends but I plan on continuing to eat well and working out in the mornings before we go on our daily activities. I will log everything on Sunday even though we have already made it to Ireland. Have a great weekend everyone!0
