I am getting bored of my workout DVDs

I just spent one hour dancing to trance/house music. Wayyy better than that stupid Denise Austin dance dvd I just got. Oh my goodness... if someone had a hidden camera setup in my living room that would make for some great Americas Funniest Home Videos footage! lol I was waving my arms, kicking, jumping, shaking ha ha.

Do you make up your own workouts???

    LOL, I was dancing for exercise too. It works but I think a more structured dance is better. I just started the Leslie Sansome video to add to my workout of dancing. Hope this helps!

    More structured dances tend to make it less likely that you'll strain muscles (I can't recall the amount of times I've woken up after a night of crazy dancing and ached all over!), but as long as you warm up first then I don't see anything wrong with it!
    Any exercise is good exercise!

    I love dancing around the house!! My nutritionist even encourages me to do it because the activity burns calories and reduces my glucose levels. I just recently bought Just Dance 2 for my Wii and that's a lot of fun. And tomorrow I will attend my first Zumba class! Dance, Dance, Dance!!! Keep it moving!!!

    That's what I do and so far the most effective one! I did that for about 6 months before my wedding and boom! I made it!!!

    I saw the title of this thread and knew it was for me!!! I love to dance, and especially while I'm doing the dishes! I love doing Zumba also because you can really add your own flavor to it! Only problem is Zumba isn't listed in the exercises so I usually just put down aerobic dancing.

    I really want to get the Zumba DVDs. I'm waiting until our tax money comes in so my husband feels better when I tell him I spent $60 on workout DVDS lol.

    I try and incorporate moves I've seen on the many other DVDs I have and I sometimes put on a dance workout DVD. I use their moves just make them faster. Feels less like working out and more like fun!

    Lol! I play Dance Dance Revolution with my lab. I beat her almost every time!!! I'm laying on the floor now, and she is pouting because I won't let her give me a moochie.

    Life would be so boring without dogs.
