Releasing my inner dancer
I've started dancing again, at home, in my own little make believe studio and I'm having a blast! I didn't realise that dancing was such a release of pent up anxiety, and such a big stress reliever. Much like exercising, one of my big stress reducer too, but dancing is so much more!
I put one of my favourite CD on and I just dance and dance the hour away. Now to get a good workout it as to be a really good up tempo collaboration of music. I've been dancing to the music from this past season's So You Think You Can Dance show.
Think of those dancers and stars from Dancing with the Stars, do you see the way they dance, really energetic and fast-paced? Pretty much like that so I get a really good work out!
I'm not as fit as I was a couple of months ago when I was working out much more regularly than I've been doing lately. It was getting to the point where I was only getting to the gym once a week, and while at home I just couldn't muster the energy to do anything. So I decided to do what I really love doing, dancing! Boy what a exhilarating experience!
You know what else I found out? I'm not as young as I used to be!LOL! Getting this 42 year old body of mine to do those twists, jumps and turns I used to do without thinking is having to relearned those moves again or to just take it easy while doing them!
I've always loved dancing and remember the days of dancing the nights away when I used to go club-hopping! It's such a wonderful thing to do I recommend it to anyone who wants to get back on that road to health and fitness, just start off slowly until you get the hang of it again!
