Hey Everyone!
With the weather getting a bit warmer, I am getting all pumped and ready for the spring season to come along already. After spring, it brings us closer to summer and my smile turns up from 75 to 110!
This period of weather fluctuating between extreme cold to somewhat moderate reminds me of when I was a little girl. It brings me back to my memory of dancing school, gymnastics, and my one year of ballroom dancing. I miss dancing so much that I can still hear the music in my head from when I performed at the recitals. It was so much fun! Oh what I would do to go back to those good ol' days.
Well, I might be getting older but sure doesn't mean I have to stop dancing. In fact, I integrate dancing as a form of exercise when my routine at the gym gets boring. I have never taken hip-hop class when I was younger, and have wanted to for the longest time now. To fulfill this desire, I attended the hip-hop class at LA fitness and what a great form of physical activity! By integrating dance techniques with fast paced music, you get your heart racing and your body shaking. Let your body resonate the music in your soul.
Don't be afraid to go back to those childhood activities or the ones you have always wanted to try. As you can see, you can reap the benefits of your childhood dreams by making them alive in your adult years.
Go out there and try a new form of exercise, whether it be a dance class or trying up a new sport. Don't let your fears or childhood memories hold you back. It's time to dream big and make it happen!
Get your dancing shoes and on and shake it!
Till next time,
Ree

I agree! Dancing is def a way to bring some rhythm and soul to your workout. The problem with going to the gym is that people get tired of the same tedious and monotonous movements. However, with the inspiration of the dance, bring your iPod or even get a dance tape workout at home and you'll see how much fun you can have.
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting us revved up and ready for the summer!

Agreed, taking such a class sure does beat doing boring cardio, like running on a treadmill for an hour. Dancing is a full body routine rolled into a single session and will both tone, fight excess fat and lets you practice better moves for the dance floor.

Hey Girl!
ReplyDeleteI love the gym & exercising and I would LOVE to do a hip-hop dance!
I think we should do that together.
Not only is it a great way to exercise but we will look hot at da clubs!
bhaha <333
i agree with dom... I think all of PMM (including the basketball players) should do a hip hop dance glass... with 'beverages' of course... lol
ReplyDeleteBut I used to dance a lot as a kid (5 years of lessons) and sometimes I really do miss it. Maybe as the weather gets warmer, I will try signing up for a dance class... :-)
