5/31/08 1 CommentExercise!
So I must confess. I really don't enjoy working out. Sure I enjoy dancing which is a very physical activity, but just exercising I can't stand.
Since the dance season is over for the college group I was with, it's up to me to keep in shape until September when I start my dance instructor job again. If I'm taking class or teaching about three days a week, I really don't have to do much exercise on my own.
So in addition to currently doing my own dance workout a couple of times during the week to keep in practice, I've taken up "jogging." I use the quotation marks because I am not a jogger or a runner of any kind (and surprisingly I've found by asking around a lot of dancers aren't, even the professionals). Running is just a different activity all together. In fact I've had dance instructors say that dancers shouldn't run regularly because it shortens your muscles and decreases flexibility, which is bad because in dance it's all about lengthening your muscles. Therefore I decided jogging once a week would probably be fine. It is a different kind of activity, so it keeps things fresh, plus it's pretty challenging for me since I've never been one to just take off running and go for miles anyway. So I run for a bit on Saturday mornings and then I do a thorough stretch. And it's not so bad. Hopefully I can keep it up so I'll have plenty of energy and stamina for the fall. : )
So how about you guys? Any favorite (or least favorite) exercise routines?

It went okay, but it is definitely going to be a ton of work. But graduation is at the beginning of August! I keep reminding myself of that when I feel bogged down. lol
I am already looking forward to seeing Criss in October. Definitely glad that I was able to buy advanced tickets because it looks like more tickets are being purchased since they were released to the public. I wonder about that...I assume most die hard fans would either have an account on here or sign up for the Cirque Club (which is free) so that they could purchase tickets first. Of course maybe it was a scheduling thing for some people which I understand since it took me a while to clear my trip with work.
Anyway, I'm trying to stay up to date on everyone's blog, but don't have a ton of time. I haven't forgotten about you guys!
Hugs all!
Have a great evening!

lol My headline is kinda funny if you read it and don't think about Believe as a show.
Anyway, if you're going and you read this, leave me a comment about what show you're going to and how long you're going to be in Vegas.
I just might have gotten time off from work ; ) and I would love to hang out with my loyal friends.
: ) Have a great night all!
