I danced with the stars.




I bought some dance videos at Goodwill.
I thought the exercise would help me.
Plus, I really don't know how to dance.
I thought they might help me dance better as well.

Today I pulled out my first video:
Paul Abdul - Get Up and Dance

I forgot that I couldn't dance so I couldn't keep 
up with this one from the beginning.
I gave up and pulled out the next video.

You have to be a certain age to remember 
Richard Simmons.
I'm that age.
I remember exercising with him watching him
when my children were babies.
Yes. I. did.

This one was aptly named
Sweatin' with the Oldies.
And I did - sweat, I mean.

I found out why these things are so hard for me.
I cannot do two things at the same time.
That means if I move my legs,
then I can't move my arms.
Not at the same time anyway.

I made it halfway through that one.

I guess I don't have to worry about finding a copy of Zumba.

It is great fun to exercise this way which is why I love my Wii. :)

Funny post! I'm a bit like you - dancing isn't really my strong point!! Like LindyLouMac, I had a Wii Fit for Christmas and it is very good for keeping fit. There are so many different programmes.

You crack me up! You can't move two things at one time?! I laughed out loud. It might run in the family. My Dad swears his slow dance, The Triangle, is a classic; we had to practice the morning of my wedding to be sure I had it right.
