exercise review Archives

Two things about me other than it’s my New Years Resolution to lose weight.

One, I love to dance. I love it so much, I’ve taken lessons in college and with my husband. I dragged him with me and we did about ten weeks but I thin I’ve forgotten most of it. I’m just not sure. I think when it comes to swing dancing I would fall right back into the swing of things. Ha ha ha, I know, I’m not that funny.

Two, I love watching dancing with the stars. ABC’s Dancing with the stars is so much fun to watch. I love to watch the different dances and wish that I could train with a professional. The classes I took with my husband were a lot of fun. We learned all of the different ballroom dances. We didn’t master them. I’ll admit a weakness to you. I’m not good at following. I just want to lead. Oh the shame, I’ve never really had a great dance partner, oh wait, I take that back. Once, when I was in high school, my boyfriend and I went out swing dancing. We went to a bar that was hosting dancing and we danced. He wasn’t that strong either but this couple came in. They were dressed to the nines when it comes to swingers. The guy asked me to dance and it was AMAZING. So I do believe Edward Cullen in Twilight, “It’s all in the lead”

Now for the giveaway!

I received these two DVD’s to review on Mom Start. It’s very sad because I can’t do an accurate review right now. I haven’t been approved for excursive from my surgery yet. From the looks of them, I know I’m going to like them. I much prefer dancing off the pounds to just doing routine exercises. After watching it, I know I’m going to love doing it.

This one has more slower parts in it. I can’t do this one yet either, because I have to be very careful for two more weeks. Time is passing but just going to Costco with my kids wares me out. The slower parts focus much more on the mid section, you know those trouble areas that all of us women would just love help in.
