My New Favorite Workout...

[Native Vail Gal]

Ok ladies!
I have the answer to those toning and burning calories questions!

Do you watch Dancing with the Stars? You know how much weight they lose? Tons!

Well, we've been taking dancing lessons now (2 times a week) for 3 months for "the big day" and I have, as of today, lost a total of 13 pounds!

Lordy! I haven't even done anything! All this dancing makes you thirsty, so you drink a lot more water ....but that's the only change!

Plus....It's fun! :D

So.....TRY DANCING!!! You'll lose the weight in NO time!!!

What kind of dance have you been learning?

Though I'm fairly certain it's not what you've been doing (an interesting mountain wedding that would make!), I've been wanting to take hula dance for a while. I'm seriously planning on starting after ski season. Do we happen to have any hula divas out there?

 

[Native Vail Gal]

We have learned:
Fox Trot
Swing (East and West Coast)
Waltz
Rumba
Salsa
and a little Tango!

My Bachelorette party is today and we are going....
Wait for it.....
Wait for it....


POLE DANCING!!! :ROTF:

Yes, we are taking pole dancing lessons!
My friends are SO CREATIVE AND FUN!!! I hope I don't fall on my head!

 

[Robyn]

Oh, my that sounds like fun! Where have you been taking your lessons? Have fun at your bachelorette party!

 

[Kimmyt]

pole dancing is awesome, and a great core workout! make sure to wear really short shorts and a sleeveless shirt because the more skin you have exposed the easier it actually is, since the skin kinda sticks to the pole allowing you to control your speed.

I [heart] the rumba!

DITTO!!!!

And now....I Heart Pole-Dancing....kindof! What a phenomenal workout though! Phewwwww! Strippers are in GREAT shape!

 

[Marigee]

Strippers are in GREAT shape!

They have to be - they can't hide big thighs with clothing!

The whole pole dancing thing cracks me up. What an unusual addition to add to the home gym. I am sure it is heading that direction, it has got to be a good work out for all practical purposes, but try explaining that to ones in-laws - "It's a great work-out" "Well we are sure it is dear but so is jazzercise...."

I'm a little disappointed that you didn't invite us to your Bachelorett Party! I think that is one of the most creative party ideas I've heard in a long time! I'd do it!!

I've got a GREAT idea! Why don't we do some pole dancing at Diva Days? Who's in?

My thighs are too big for Pole Dancing.
What a scary thought.

What a scary thought.

I lovingly call my thighs "skier legs".

Well said!

I'm bumping this thread up....because I have a funny story!

I told Mr. NVG that if he does as he is told, and gets home soon....I'll go buy a special pole for the bedroom and entertain him (with a helmet of course :D ) while he has to remain in bed!!! I can't believe how much more motivated he is to follow the nurse's directions!

We'll be home by Saturday!

Now I have to try to remember what I learned! :ROTF:

 

[Robyn]

AHAHAHAHHAH!

 

[Jilly]

Now just where are you going to get that pole?? Does ACE have those?

No. But my friend gave me a catalog with them in it! Can you believe that?!
