"Wannabe"
Here is my new aerobic dance to "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls. This dance is for Melinda, my sis in law, who suggested I choreograph a dance to this song.

Intermittent Fasting
Since my daughter was born I have been trying to get fit, healthy, and energized again. I felt like I was doing what I needed to between exercise, eating habits, and sleep. But for some reason I just wasn't seeing the results I was hoping for. I started hearing about intermittent fasting from two of my brothers. I did some research on it to make sure it was safe and beneficial and I was pleased with what I found in my research. So I took the leap. I decided to try the 16/8 schedule. So I only allow myself to eat between noon and 8:00 p.m. The first couple of weeks it was pretty hard. I always do my workout in the morning between 8:00 and 9:00 so by the time noon came around I was DYING! My body was definitely not used to that. Cardio days were especially tough. But after awhile it started getting easier. I still get REALLY excited for lunch... just ask my kids. I even have a fun alarm that goes off at noon and me and the kids do a funny little happy dance. But I don't feel like I am going to be sick or pass out before noon. And the biggest reason I am posting about this is I lost the weight, quite quickly, that I had been trying to loose for a year. I have passed my weight goal! I'm also to the point where my body is used to this. I feel like this can stay as a part of my life style and it doesn't make me depressed. Just to be aware, not everyone will have success with this. For example, one of my brothers that did this for awhile did not get the results he wanted and decided it was not for him. But you never know until you try it!

"Invincible"
This aerobic dance is thanks to my 5 year old son. While I was pregnant this last time he heard this song while listening to the Lego Batman soundtrack. He asked if I could write a dance to this song for him. At the time I was so sick and could hardly do anything so I told him once the baby was born I would write a dance for him. He never forgot. Right after my little girl was born he was asking me to write the dance. That was 11 months ago. I finally got to it! He loves it! It's an awesome song too. It really pumps me up. I love that my kids like to dance with me and are excited for new things. It really keeps me going.

My 90 Day Workout Program
I have been developing this workout program for the last six months. It started quite a bit different then it ended up. I was aiming to make it a workout for beginners all the way to the very physically fit. While looking for programs for me I was always frustrated to find that they were either aimed towards beginners or extremely fit. So I made my own :D I had a few friends and family at different fitness levels try the different stages of the program and have gotten some good feed back.
If you decide to try it feel free to comment what you like and don't like about it. This is still a work in progress so any input would be welcome.

Give me some suggestions!
I love choreographing workouts to fun music. And I would love to choreograph a dance to music you love too. I would love to hear your suggestions and I will do my best to get them up and running for you. Just leave me a message or somethin... Lets have some fun dancing to music we all love. <B
"Don't Let Me Down"
This song is in my head a lot while being at home with two crazy toddlers. It runs through my head as I dramatically imagine my husband coming home early and saving me and I lay on the floor covered in baby spit and snot and the kids hanging all over me screaming their heads off. Its kind of a funny image, even though its not that far off. But it is a powerful song. I think a lot of people can relate to it in their own way to help them power through this work out.
This is a leg workout. Try to stay in a squat at much as you can during this song.

"Before He Cheats" Aerobic Dance
Honestly I have been struggling a lot with anxiety and depression lately but there is one constant thing that helps. For me that is dancing. On my zumba days I feel just a little better. I am able to handle things a little better. Not only the dancing but the people I dance with our amazing. I've always had a lot of social anxiety but slowly these women I dance with I am comfortable around. It feels really good to have a place to escape the pressure of motherhood, church responsibilities, chores. Its a good place to let go. To get some of the frustration out.
This dance is a good one for me to push the frustration out. While doing this dance I like to tense up all my muscles and push as if pulling myself through water. Its fun too. It's one of my favorite songs so I jam out to it all day long. I hope you can let out your frustrations and struggles out with this song. If not, have fun!

"Can't Stop The Feeling"
Here is my new aerobic dance to "Can't Stop The Feeling". I was dying filming this one because my air conditioner was too loud to have on while I was filming and youtube kept freezing on me, so I had to do a couple of takes. I love this one though and I hope you do too. Get into it :D

"Good Time"
Dancing is always a good time for me. I help teach zumba at 5:30 in the morning and there is no way I could do that if I didn't love it. Give it a try. You might love it too. :D Or running, biking, martial arts, weights, spinning, etc... Here is my dance to "Good Time".
