coasterqueen replied: It's awesome!!!! Although I am so out of shape that within the 1st 5 minutes I'm in pain and about ready to fall down, but I really enjoy it.

Have fun!

lovemy2 replied: GREAT - I will be on the floor in 2 minutes flat then

Ahhh, you will LOVE it. It doesn't even seem like exercise. It's just that 1st 5 minutes I sway between loving it and feeling too much pain. I KNOW the more you do it the quicker that feeling will go away. It's just working out areas of the leg (at least mine, lol) that don't get worked out too much due to sitting at a desk all day.

I certainly won't look THAT graceful - more like a trainwreck about to happen

I so want to take dance lessons with DH but so far he won't do it - I keep trying - was thinking of just signing us up then he won't have a choice

coasterqueen replied: Ok, I wanna know how it went!?!? Did you like it?

lovemy2 replied: I have never liked and hated something so much in my life - I love the workout but I hate how I have to get it - does that make sense I totally hate aerobics not for any reason other than I can't do it- I was a major athlete in HS and college - soccer, volleyball, softball, basketball but ask me to move everything all at once in different directions - NO WAY but its a heck of a workout - the second week went much better because it was a bit more familiar and I am sure in another week or two it will be better but I decided that I can't dance without a few cocktails in me

you should take a video!!
