i did an actual workout today. well sort of. i went with a dance of the inches workout called calorie blasting party . usually this one is a bit easy for me but i haven't done it in so long it was hard to keep on beat and the various tempos kept me breathing hard. julz arney is famed for dance workouts, she is bright and cues very well. she leads through 3 different tempos. the 1st tempo is slow to learn the moves, tempo 2 picks it up a bit and tempo 3 you throw yourself in quick paced dance moves and add your own style. the arms were confusing for me so i just went with the flow on it. i am far from a dance person which is why i like dance videos. shorter workouts are the best for me to learn a little at a time,but this particular one is about 45 minutes. the class is all shapes and sizes and everybody looks great with their own style. there were many times i just wanted to stop but i was getting frustrated but the repeating of combos really helped me find my pace and work with it.
the dvds are meant to be fun so you workout without really working out. you just have fun learning dance moves but actually buring calories. not all in the dance off the inches brand are this good. i have tried a few that were just downright boring and uneffective. there are still some i want to try. and then there are some(if you follow the link above you can search) that are just really trying to push a lot of different dances(country line dance,ballroom, and even bellydance). but overall i do like the idea of the workouts themselves. it made me get off my butt and keep with it. this is my first hurdle and tomorrow will be my second. if i make it through at least a week of workouts then i know i will be out of my funk in no time!
