When Blest, over at OWOA, said we had to do a workout we’ve never done before, I was at a loss for ideas.  I’ve been working out since the fifth grade so there isn’t much I haven’t tried between different gyms, videos and heck…the military for that matter.  Then I remembered my sister telling me recently that she was really getting into a dance jam video she has.  Aside from tap dancing and general “crazy dancing” with the kids…I haven’t done much dancing.  I thought I might hit blockbuster sometime this week and then I remembered that we now have TiVo again so why not search for a workout on my own television.  So on Monday I set my wonderful TiVo to record a Hip-Hop workout this morning at 9am.

The kids and I only made it through half of it (30 minutes).  Man, I was groovin’!  And sweatin’!  The woman (MaDonna Grimes) kept saying, “are ya feelin’ it now?”  I was like, “yeah girl!”  I don’t think I believed it would be that much of a workout….literally dripping sweat over here and that was only half the workout!  I’ve told TiVo not to delete it because I really want to nail those dance steps now.  I’m a perfectionist and if I’m going to hip-hop, I want to do it right and not look like an idiot.  They move fast when they do it at tempo and then there’s all those moves to remember…and in the right order lol.

I’m really glad I tried something new this morning.  It was a lot of fun….so much so that if it hadn’t been for the sweat and panting, I wouldn’t have thought I was working out.   And yes, it’s my birthday!
