KICK 'em and TWIST 'em Exercise Tips for Exercise Drop-Outs.
Our Lady of Weight Loss wanted me to share some exercise ideas for those of us who are NOT gym bunnies ... some creative ideas to loosen us up, get us movin' and shakin'. What gets you moving???
1. Pretend your Madonna: Blast the music and dance in your underwear (when no one's home, of course).
2. Remember the Hula-Hoop? Let's start it up again! Why not?
3. Hopscotch was the one and only game I could play effectively when I was a kid. Grab some chalk, your kid or your neighbor's and hit the sidewalks.
4. Walk backwards. Get your friends together and do it in reverse. It works an entirely different set of muscles. And makes you laugh!
5. Twister. Twist away w. your partner and end the night in a heated sweat.

Wheww!!!it's sooo sweaty in here janice,i can't believe it!!
Nice suggestion for someone like me who is not a regular gym bunny.
Anyway,hoola hoopps is where i can share,that's my favorite when i was a little girl when my mom bought me that plastic circular hoola hoop thing.How fun to play hoola and sweat a lot,wearing just underwear while dancing Janice is not a problem for i am abikini
queen in my private bedroom you know it is comfortable and i like the
feeling of cold atmosphere in my small room here.Hopscotch?That's
my all time favorite with some friends way back when i was young.
Janice...let's just do it!!!Common let's twist again like you did
last summer..c'mmon let's...that's a nice dancing background music
for me too!!!!
Hi. I took up ballroom dancing long before the "reality" shows. You can and do break a sweat doing things like the waltz (not to mention quickstep or viennese waltz) and it's FUN. Take a dance class and feel ELEGANT while you're burning calories, as opposed to just sweating in sweats near some guy at the gym who smells bad (some guys just don't use deodorant at the gym--it's never been a problem in a social setting like dancing!)
Warning--if you take up competing it can get expensive....
