    Well yes, 30 min, whatever you can do. The challenge is letting it all out (alone....or not alone) 2x by Friday for starters and we'll add more to that challenge each week!!! HAPPY DANCING!

    Great! My hubby bought me a dancing with stars workout video so hopefully it helps!

    Welcome,
    Ah I'm doing that too! Is it the Cardio video?
    Don't be afraid to dance your heart out....or the night away. Which ever you choose:happy:

    Ok, this sounds like loads of fun. I am not one for dancing in public, but at home with the kids or alone I am all in!

    I haven't had a chance to read through all the posts, but someone mentioned some dance-moves DVDs they got. I have wanted to do some for a long time, but not knowing which one(s) to get I haven't. Any suggestions? I just borrowed a Ballet one from a friend, but that is more for strength and flexability. I am hoping for something with more cardio, hip-hop of salsa. I use to do a Latin Style Areobics at my last gym and it was awesome! Any help would be appreciated. I have an hour before getting the kids lunch ready, think I'll go crank up some tunes and dance for a bit!!

    Count me in too! I do this already, a few times a week! Usually with Lady Gaga while putting away my dishes LOL.
    As far as moves go, I try to constantly keep my feet moving and I incorporate a lot of squats. Keep your core/tummy engaged as well. Try to keep the arms above heart level.
    It's amazing how just 10 mins of this gets my heart rate up far more than walking for an hour. Plus it's crazy FUN! My boys are still young so they just look at me like I'm weird and keep on playing:-)
    I'd love to try Zumba too- they offer it twice a week at our town center so I need to check into that and see if it's full yet.

    Good for you! My youngest looks at me like I'm crazy too...lol I can usually get him to join in for a little bit then he's bored...lol unless I dance with him on my hip:) I love dancing to Lady Gaga's music too! Love doing squats while dancing, except when I do them I make a figure 8 with my hips and I feel the burn all over! You should give it a try ;)
