Get Up and Dance!

[BeeNee]

I tend to get so bored with gym workouts all the time staring at the same walls, lifting the same weights, or running the same track or treadmill. It just doesn't inspire me to workout as much and you don't always have decent enough weather to workout outside. That's the thing about working out though; some people give up on it because they figure a workout can only happen in a gym and if it doesn't happen there, they are some type of failure and soon quit whatever program they are on. Some people really enjoy the gym, some don't, and some like to just mix it up.

A workout doesn't have to be on a bike, or a track, or lifting a weight, or down a field. Find some sport or activity, like dance for me, that makes you actually want to put on your gym clothes and get out there. Keep trying different activities until you find that thing that makes you want to move. If you're like me, and you like to dance, there are so many Youtube channels that provide free content to help get your body moving if you cannot afford a dance class or don't like dancing in front of other people, or just don't have the time to get to a class.

Just remember, with any type of workout, to make sure you are warmed up first and have a decent sized space to move around in without bumping into things. If you have wood or tile floors with dancing just be careful because sweat on the floor can cause you to slip.

Here are a some of my favorite dance workouts from Youtube. If you like an instructor, check out their channels for more free dance/workout content.

as a former competitive dancer and zumba instructor, dancing used to be my favourite form of exercise (well, before my body started falling apart). i miss it, but the surgeon who operated on my ankle after i shattered it says it's unlikely i'll ever do it again... i could cry.

Go for it girl, if this is your passion you're probably great at it. I'd like to see your moves sometime, they're probably very entertaining! (;

I wish I could dance :/
I don't even know if I'd learn dancing or not (while gaining).

[BeeNee]

That's the beauty of dancing with YT videos. Whether you can dance or not is irrelevant. You can just do it at home and have fun with it or try to pick up some moves without anyone watching you or judging you.

[YourFutureEx]

You're right. Maybe I can try this.

[BeeNee]

Good luck and have fun with it.
