Just Dance 2...I'm in pathetic shape
I just tried Wii Just Dance 2, I got 5 minutes into it and thought I would probably die...ok not die, but something dire. I'm in terrible shape. I've been thinking about doing a zumba class, but this says to me, probably not yet. Then again, maybe I'm just to old for the dance routines. I'm nearly 58, maybe I should stick to recumbent bikes and treadmills.
I am 56 and have trouble walking due to knee and hip problems,,but i used to love to dance,,and since i started this journey i found i can dance my ass off in a chair, and it still brings my cardio up,
my surgery is on the 16th of this month, i am hoping that as i get lighter it will be easier to stand and then i can really get into it,, :)

When I started exercising after surgery, I could barely do 5 minutes on my elliptical or walk 1/4 mile with pain. I'm now training for my 4th half marathon (13.1 miles, I walk/jog them), ran a 5K, walk/ran a 12K, take tap dance/zumba (combo class) once a week, and do 4-7 miles at a time on my elliptical. I'm turning 51 this summer. If I can do it girl, you can! Just take it once day at a time and each time you will do a little bit more.
Good luck and have fun with it.

When thing start getting too tough...just go back to a step touch to the beat...just as long as your moving, then you are good.
If you want to try Zumba, try to find either an Aqua Zumba or a Zumba Gold class. These are designed to be a little slower and easier on the joints.
Just Dance is a GREAT game...and Just Dance 3 is coming out in October! Keep your booty movin and Dance Dance Dance!!!!
