Dance
by Samantha Sullivan
When I tipped the scale at 178 at only 62 inches tall, I freaked! I had 13 month twin son's at home and three older children and found it very hard to schedule time for walks,biking and so on so I started dancing in the privacy of my home with my little twins watching and cheering me on and even dancing with me. I would turn the music up loud, make sure it was DANCE music with a great beat and just move to the music. I like dancing and used to dance a lot before children. I do this every day for 30 to 40 minutes and sometimes longer if my twins allow. I follow up with 5 sets of 25 crunches. It gets my heart rate up, and it brightens my mood. I feel good about myself for doing it. So far with dance and cutting out soda and keeping my calories to aprox. 1200 a day I have lost 13 lbs in one month. I eat anything I want, but keep track of the calories( I keep a food journal and measure my portions)- no low carb diet here and I don't walk around feeling like I am starving. I still have some weight to lose, but I have found a great way to do it and I actually look forward to it! I have no doubt that I will hit my goal of 140. I think the best diet and exercise routine is the one you formulate for yourself. You know you like it and because of it, you're more likely to stick to it. Click here to read or post comments.
