Dancing for daily cardio.... Who would've known it'd work so

I think Friday is the best day for a weigh in too because then you can splurge a little on the weekend and then have all week to make up for it.0

I do Zumba and Cardio Dance classes.....LOVE THEM. Too much fun to be exercise.0

:drinker: CHALLENGE FOR WEEK 2:
The challenge for this week will be 4 dance sessions for 15min or more by weigh in Friday (two of those sessions being on Thursday) Maybe once in the morning and once in the evening.
Here's a water challenge as well. Drink AT LEAST 5 glasses of water a day (40oz) till Friday. I'd like you to see just what an impact having your body well hydrated really has on the scale.
Dance your hearts out and stay hydrated!:drinker:

Good morning gals/guys
I did pretty good all week with dancing, however, i slurged a little wiht food...since it was my hubbies birthday we celebrated Friday and Saturday..so Sunday was a recovery day to get back on track..
I checked out the Zumba thing on Youtube..boy does that look hard! But I also found another Zumba video that is about the same lenght as the one posted here..i will be doing both..so about 20 minutes of Zumba today..with my other workouts planned todya...
I already drank 8 cups of water..and it's only 10 am. I drink about half my weight ( in oz) so water is not a big deal with me during the warm months..
I will be back later!! Have a great day girls! 0 -

I'm 3 glasses of water in , but it's only 7:30am here I too will be doing 30min of zumba today., taking my little one's for a walk, my jogging in the afternoon for 2.5mi and my other workouts that last me about 30-40min! Feeling really GREAT today! My house is spotless and laundry is done. I will dedicate all my free time to working out and being active today

Hey Thank you for the invite. I am up for the challenge. I love to dance . I took classes most of my childhood. I only use sea salt now. I started about one year ago. Not only for the health aspects of it but i found it is cheeper to buy in the bulk section of the store i shop at than the regular ol salt.

Hey no apologizes you tried it and that's a GREAT step, and that's more Zumba then you were doing before, and more calories gone It'll get easier as you go, my first time I was fumbling too, it's hard at first and very quick paced luckily I have over ten years in a school of dance under my belt so that defenitly helped me out! Practice makes perfect! Just keep trying and just like anything else you continue to do you'll get use to it! I would advize sticking to that one routine till you get the hang of it. The one I'm doing now, I can alomost do with my eye's shut I've done it so much...lol...I'm sure you'll be there too after some practice Great job Keep it up! 0 -
So, I am considering joining a gym again. I was really disappointed in the last one I joined because I mainly joined for the classes, I love the different dance and step classes. But almost every time, there wouldn't be enough people for the class to go on so they would cancel it for the week. Soooo frustrating. I would get in maybe two classes a week! And, since I have free access to a mini-gym with elipitcals, treadmils, stair climbers and weights, I just stopped going. But I found a new gym that has a TON of classes... including Zumba on almost every day of the week at a time when I can actually go to it! I am really excited to visit the gym and sign up! Happy Dancing!0

Dancing can help. I sometimes do DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) in my PlayStation 2. It is a great workout and I sweat and get my heart rate up!0

So far I've lost 1 lb and 5.5 inches since my last Wednesday. I only danced twice last week and I'm intending on being more frequent this week.0

This sounds great! I can do it in my office when I feel I need an energy boost -- much better than climbing/jogging the stairs like I have been doing.0

Any weigh in's? Who completed the challenge?0
-
I weighed in today and lost 2 lbs. Yippeeeeee! Ready for the next challenge.0

Hey gang! I have not lost any weight . Maybe it's because tom is around the corner...sorry for posting late. Have a great weekend! I will try to check in during the weekend,but not sure since my kids and husband is home and we usually go out and about.0

Hi All,
No weight lost this week but I think that's because of bad eating Friday...... Major sodium /sugfar overload and I'm still paying for it. No dancing today as I had planned but did get in a 3.75 mile walk/jog and burned 403 cals! Food much, much vbetter today as wll.
Hope everybody had a fantastic weekend,
Janet
