Okay, I have a confession to make. I haven’t committed a heinous socially unacceptable act, as much as I have treaded on my own personal imperative and consequently, my own feelings. Of all things that are true in my life, I am healthy. During any given week I engage in six cardio and one resistance training work out. That’s the standard cross training routine for me. I believe this program gives a holistic approach and keeps me strong and flexible.
Last week I sinned. I crossed my own standards for what constitutes meaningful exercise. For the first time, I tried one of those dance-based aerobic workouts. It lasted for forty-seven minutes, including warm up and cool down. I mocked the genre beforehand, but the truth is that I struggled to keep up and the routine put a serious burn on my arms, abs, legs and back.
Prior to completing the dance video I didn’t even consider it as “real” exercise, not for my purposes of preserving The Streak. Wow, what a difference a day can make. I grievously misunderstood, but now I’m a believer, a full-on convert. I used Shaun T’s Rockin’ Body and it does rock the body. I will be hitting “play” on this DVD again soon.
Run. Stretch. Dance.
