Two forms of dancing as fitness!

We have two ladies on our board who have each tried two new forms of dancing as fitness!  Video Game Dancing (Dance Dance Revolution) and Pole Dancing.  Mary and Jill - GO GIRLS!!  They both have expressed that these new forms of fitness are both fun, challenging and seeing and feeling the results.  Here are two recent articles to back those claims: http://health.yahoo.com/experts/sportsnick/10250/can-you-dan ce-for-fitness/

My husband and I were taking Salsa dancing -- surprisingly good workout! Cindy

You are TOO lucky to have a husband willing to do that with you - how romantic and exciting!

Yeah, he is THE BEST!  No complaints here!  :) Cindy

So get this: I am trying to get my wife to take Salsa lessons with me. She is convinced that is the first step to my running off with some saucy Argentine woman.

giggle...tooo funny.. 

I read them both (Times Dispatch yesterday in paper form) and love these. Also, Christina dances and I believe has taught some dance classes as well. Its something I've considered doing for me and for my buggas. Another friend of mine has her daughter in ballet which my oldest is not interetsed in but likes free movement and such. The 3 of us can work at being healthy together!

Ok....dancing must in the stars this week.  Ballroom dancing is today's Kashi challenge.

I tell you....it's the BEST workout I have gotten so far.  My arms are SO toned and are getting really strong!  Plus, it's increased my endurance and speed in running, and I've become more flexible.  BONUS!
