    Hey, hope everyone had a great weekend.
    This weeks challenge is
    Completing 250minutes of cardio before Friday-with at least 100 of those minutes being some form of dance.
    Don't forget to drink lot's of water.

    I'm getting back into the swing of things this week and can't wait to burn these calories! Good luck ladies!

    I love dancing for my cardio. I just dance around in my room when I get up in the morning and it gets my pumped and ready to go. I like dancing to Brittany, usher, the veronicas, and some other artists. but I usually do about 4 to 5 songs worth, if im running late I will do 2 or 3

    Hi Everybody -
    I just ordered Zumba and i'm really excited!! The samba/ reggae work out dvd i ordered from amazon was not what I was expecting at all but ... that's okay. I found the zumba plus the "sticks for 3 payments of 19.95 so that's much ,ore workable for me!!

    Can't wait to get it and even more than that can't wait to see the results!!

    Good luck to us all!!

    I, too, love dancing for cardio! I still go running or walking sometimes, but when I want to work my whole body, burn the most calories, and have fun, I dance! I did this today and it felt so good. Whenever I dance, I pop in some of my favorite music and have bottles of water nearby so I'm set. My kids even jump in sometimes and have a blast with me. My moves usually go with the beat of the music and I make sure to work every part of my body. Nothing (for me anyway) tops dancing for an awesome workout!
