I
haven't been to my weekly belly dancing class in a long while due to our
instructer jetting off overseas for a holiday, and since I am naturally
rather a lazy person, this has caused me to really feel the stodgy
effects of my winter eating habits as of late.
I decided I best get my
some blood circulating before I turn into a right blob, so I ordered the
Latin Fat Buster DVD. It comprises of 4 high energy
dance routines from a 5 minute to a 20 minute workout. I thought it
best to ease into things with the 5 minute excercise plan, aka the
warm-up!
Oh my dusty hat, 5 minutes seems like 20 when you are trying to
follow the energetic bunny on the screen who is shaking hips, tapping
toes, pulsing arms and throwing in a few lunges for good measure. And
here I thought my co-ords were well improved being a casual belly
dancer......maybe not so much! I'm rather glad I was on my own, as I'm
certain I closely resembled a panicked drowning victim with much
unco-ordinated arm flapping, very heavy and laboured breathing
complimented by burning muscles, all as I willed myself to make it to
the end.
It took a fair minute or two for my breathing to return to
normal as my heart continued to pound hysterically in my chest. I
jellyfished my way into the shower on shell shocked legs all the while
scolding myself for being so ridiculously unfit. Guess we'll try again
tomorrow, and with any luck I may oneday reach my goal of the 20 minute
workout
