How many of you just do not like to exercise? Well I can tell you that I really don't mind exercising. I am just not as motivated in the winter months with the snow and all. What has brought me through the winter months is dancing. I can remember as a teenager I absolutely loved to dance. I would even get in trouble for going out so much, just because I wanted to dance!! If you think about it...going out to a club and dancing minus the alcoholic beverages is tons of exercise. Imagine the calories burned in 3-4 hours of dancing! No one exercises for that duration of time unless you are on one of those weight loss reality shows where they exercise for 6-8 hours a day...UNREAL. If you have a job there is no way to sustain exercising for that long period of time and stick with the regimen.
Why not recreate the club at home? If you are anything like me you very rarely go out to dance like the good old days. I mean we are all adults now dealing with more important things in life. One of my techniques is getting up very early in the morning to dance!! I vary the dance styles every day so that I will not get bored of the same routines. Sometimes I just put on the video channels and dance to whatever is playing for 30-45 minutes. Sometimes the routines are more structured like Samba, Capoeira, Chicago Style Steppin'!!! Any way you look at it dancing is a cardio exercise that increases your heart rate. In other words you are exercising without really "exercising". On that note go get your dance on and leave a comment regarding how it worked for you! By the way if you do choose to dance in a club atmosphere, have some seltzer water with lemon for me!! TTYL
