TUES: Irish dancing!
I know I'm stretchin' it here.. but it's St. Patty's Day so here it goes:
Benefits of Irish Dancing
--Increased Physical Skills
--Developing body control and coordination, great exercise.
--Increased Mental Skills
--Listening, following directions, increasing attention span, memorizing steps.
--A Healthy Competitive Spirit
--Increasing the child's desire to do well and to the best of his/her ability.
--Self-Esteem
--Increasing the child's confidence, developing "stage presence"
--Lasting Friendships
--Not only with classmates, but through performing and competing, meeting children from all parts of the city, state, and country.
--Promoting Irish Culture
--A revival of Irish identity and tradition began in the 1960s. While a young dancer may not comprehend this particular benefit while training, this revival continues!
So how do you plan to move today??
Me? 1-2 hours or exercise... that'll include a walk and perhaps the treadmill.

Oh if only I were coordinated enough to do Irish Dance- but alas I have 2 left feet (with some missing toes). Thus I will hit the gym this morning for about 1.5 hours of cardio. Then it will be chasing the Kindergarteners all day (and trying to harness their energy about the Leprechaun that came to visit our classroom).
Enjoy the day and keep on moving!!

My sister stopped by this afternoon and we took a 20 minute walk around the neighborhood and I'm going to REALLY try to get on the treadmill for 15 later tonight. I have GOT to increase my exercise.
