Ok..so I have been doing Sweatin' To The Oldies 3 days a week for the past 2 weeks.

Halfway thru the video, I would be so out of breath I thought I was gonna tip over a few times. Well, it dawned on me Wednesday that maybe the reason I get so out of breath is that I SING along with the songs while dancing up a storm and umm..that doesn't work too well while Twistin' and Shoutin' hehehe

So, today I fought off the urge to sing a long and had a wonderful workout...:blushing:

Teeheeeheeee:laugh:

    me too, I sing my 90's dance songs while running, and it is 11:00 and still singing the same songs since 7:30. I think that's a very important part. Have fun!!!!!!!!! :smile: :laugh:

    You can use your singing aloud to gauge your intensity. If you're working at a high intensity, you should not be able to speak/sing more than about 10 words, and even at that you should feel winded and not easily speak/sing.
