Hip Hop Mania

Well, I just went to my second hip-hop class at the gym and I have to say this is much more fun than calisthenics.  Remember jumping jacks?  There's a little jumping, but it's to tunes like "Beat It" and the music alone makes me want to exercise (excuse me, dance) all night.

Standing right behind my daughter I follow the best I can and I admit there remains a bit of coordination from my cheerleading days.  Some of the dances are a little fast, but I just do the best I can and feel happy when the teacher yells, "Good job!"  

After sweating for an hour and feeling really good, I am content knowing that the chocolate chip cookie I ate today was at least partially burned off by some good old fashioned fun.

Incorporate it!
