I repeat: "I HATE to exercise!" But I LOOOOVE to dance! I grew up taking dance lessons and loved every single minute of it. And once I was old enough, I loved to go clubbing and dance the night away. But then I got married, had kids, and well, you know how that goes. Every time I would start to dance my kids would roll their little eyes back in their little heads and say "MOOOOOOM....that's so embarrassing!" And I would stop.
But now they are oh-so-much-older and now I could oh-so-not-care if I embarrass them. If I could go out dancing tomorrow and the day after and the day after that I would. Alas, my Husband is NOT a groove-master and I really don't want to go without him. So I do the next best thing - I put on my earphones - plug up my mp3 player with some fabulous tunes - and I shake it like I have good sense! I usually do this while cleaning house - kills two birds with one stone. I dance, I sing (really loud - ask my kids) and I clean. It gets my heart pumping and gives me plenty of exercise.
It also raises my spirits! I really get tired of doing the same darn thing every day only to see things get dirty as fast as I clean. But when I get lost in some of my old tunes, well, it is simply impossible not to dance around....and that releases those good endorphins everyone always talks about.
Give it a whirl - I think you'll be glad you did!
