My New Workout

I have ADD... really bad, as my friends know and I have a hard time staying with workouts that keep me interested.  I grew up dancing and then went into figure skating and in college I started in pilates and yoga.  In the beginning of my pregnancy I continued with yoga until I felt too fat and didn't want to do it anymore so I just went to walking (which in turn, made me go into labor 3 days early).  I love working out but its hard to find the motivation and sometimes, time, to stick with it.  When I had a gym membership to LA Fitness, I went at least 4 days a week until that fateful night a few years ago when God was watching over me (I know he always is) and I was all ready to go in my workout clothes and, sat down on the couch and I accidentally fell asleep.  When I woke up, my phone was going off with calls and texts from friends and family ensuring my safety.  I was then told that some sick, psychotic man went into my gym, pulled out 2 guns and killed several women.  I will never know what could've been had I not fallen asleep.  But that incident has never left me and I have not returned to the gym since. 

I know that it is safe now, but I have since found other ways to workout outside of the gym.  I recently returned to my dancing roots and have started this DVD that I had bought several years ago.  It's the New York City Ballet workout and it's AMAZING!  I always love how pilates made my body look and feel and it stems from ballet.  A lot of classes integrate ballet into their routines now and for good reason.  Have you ever seen a dancers body?  I have several friends who are dancers and they look fantastic!  I have a charity fashion show coming up in about 2 weeks and a movie I am working on starting next week and I am frantically trying to whip into shape quickly.  Fortunately, I have athletic genes from my parents and it only takes a few workouts for me to see the difference in my body.  But for everyone, it only takes one workout to make you feel 10 times better about yourself!

I am thinking about looking into classes around here at dance studios because I really love the art and I love the way it makes me feel.  But for now, I'm sticking with this DVD because I can fit it into my schedule (and my budget) and I can't wait to see the difference it makes!  Besides, who doesn't love a dancer's butt?
