every morning i try to do my little walk around the block...sometimes a bit further...I wear my headphones because where i live has alot of traffic...so i listen to upbeat music to drown out that noise...
that usually warms me up enuff to dance...and we have an awsome stereo !!!thanx to some robbers that broke into our house and stole our old ones !!!..one thing out of THAT anyway...
so I dance...and am alone so I dance free and easy !! I do stretches and wiggles...and leg ups and just any old move I wanna do with good old Rock n Roll !!

anyone else just love to dance ???

I used to dance while working out all the time before getting Fibro. It was a great way to limber up. (plus doing some Yoga stretches!)
Can't do it now cuz my balance is waaaay off.

I LOVE dancing! It must be meant for me to start again because I have had this urge to go dancing for at least two weeks now. Watch out world, here I come! LOL

Afraid my dancing days are over, but I love music and 'dance' in my head..not losing weight that way, unless that explains where my brain cells are going! But for those that are still able to dance, it's great fun and exercise

I love to dance! I used to go out almost every weekend to a restaurant/bar that had a live band. They played 70's/80's music. There was usually an older crowd there too so there wasn't too much crazy stuff going on there. I miss doing that!

I think that is a great suggestion! My doc says it has to be low impact...if I don't get too wild, will that be considered low impact? Lol! I don't think, with the way I have been feeling lately that there is too much of a chance of me getting too wild! I used to love the swim, jerk, and the twist, oh and must not firget, the jitterbug. Yeehaw! I got the music in me, I got the music in me! Lol!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
