Ug! I so sore today! I may use today to something mild, and not push so hard. My legs are sore from the BD workout and my arms from the weights. Not too bad though, but I'm thinking that the increased reps are working.

Working out is addictive! I'm starting to love the way I am shaping up. I have notice a huge difference since I have been pushing with the weights. My arms are really getting leaner and smaller from the weights! I think this is due to keeping the weight pretty low. I used to get kinda bulky when I lifted before, but I was doing a lot of weight. I'm feeling strong like I used to. Heck, I even pushed my car by myself(long story)! For a while all I was doing was walking. Granted I was doing over 6 miles sometimes, but not seeing the difference that I am with weights. I LOVE my hand weights !!!

Seto,
I'll have to check out that Basics tape. The scary thing is that the fat burning one is for beginners too I'm with you, I don't want anyone to watch. Not at least until I get into shape....and then maybe only my husband I bet it would be good to learn from someone who knows what they are doing. I bet she look great! Where did she learn to BD?

She learned from Nejwah, then started to work for her (belly dancing) and then went off on her own. I can't remember her stage name now. LOL

Okay, I'm not going to workout today. I am way too sore. I may soak in a hot bath instead.

Good idea! You don't want to push yourself too hard and get hurt.
Have a good bath!!!!

I think I was feeling a little better, or possibaly I am just addicted to BD, but I did an easy workout today. The Belly dancing Basics. I think that I'll still take the bath though

Wow!!!! You are definately resilient and driven!!!!!!

That sounds better than obsessed and crazy I did a second BD workout tonight. I think I am hooked. I want to be able to shake and not jiggle


Msty

Damn!!!! You are addicted! It's a good addiction though.

Yes, I am addicted I have to say it is better than eating sugar! I can't believe how sore I'm getting from those tapes! I can tell that I'm moving differently already. Doesn't seem possible, but my stomach is shrinking too! I wonder if it is from BD, LC, or both? Hmmmmmmmm..........

I did the Basics BD workout. Still not feeling like doing something hard. Maybe tomorrow.

If I have a chance to do my BD tape, I'll let you know if it helps.

I would be really interested to know if it helps. Good luck BDing! I hope you get the chance

Today, I got up at 5:17 am and went for a walk. No, this was not my plan, but someone(read a Blue Doberman) woke me up. I thought she just needed to go outside, but when I stepped out of bed...she was so happy. Bouncing around, all happy, with that I can't wait to go look on her face. How could I resist that? Anyway, I was walking by 5:50 and we did the "loop" at my old school. It is about 2 1/4 miles through the woods, a dirt road, windey and twisty with lots of hills. Well, that's one way to get cardio out of the way I will go weights later today.
