Dancing With The Stars:Dancing Off The Pounds

Thursday, December 03, 2009


Holidays and weight gain, isn't it a wonderful thing.  I know that not everyone gains weight, but it sure seems like I do through the holidays.  Ofcourse we all know that after the holidays comes a fresh new year where we can set a New Years resolution.  I know that it is said that most people do not stick to these so I am all for calling it a lifestyle change.  To help start the new year out right, I recently had the opportunity to take a Sneak Peek at the new Dancing With The Stars:Dancing Off The Pounds.  Now anyone who is a fan of this show, must own this workout dvd.   I won't lie and say that it is easy, because it is a challenge but that it what we are looking for in a workout.  My fourteen year old wanted to try her hand at this since she takes Hip Hop.  She felt she could do it without any problems at all.  Let me just say that the nextday she was sup sore from this workout, but she loved it!  She is determined to learn how to move her hips the way they do on one of the moves.  So she is going to continue to use this program since she is suppose to get at least 30 minutes of exercise other than her PE class at school.

What are you to expect with this workout:
  • Swing (15 minutes): America's official ballroom dance delivers pound-shedding cardio fun with traditional East and West Coast Swing and leg-sculpting Lindy Hop moves like the Susie Q, Heel-Toe Swivels and the Shimmy Shake
  • Jive (15 minutes): Be the coolest cat on the dance floor and watch those pounds melt off with the fast-paced English Jive, and burn head-to-toe calories with lively kicks and rocking hips.
  • Quickstep (15 minutes): America's ragtime favorite combines the Jive, Lindy and Fox-trot for a full-throttle weight-loss workout that slims the core, butt and legs.
  • Cool Down (5 minutes): Roll your hips and stretch your muscles with a dancers' cool down set to the soothing tempo of rhythm and blues.
We all watch in amazement every season as the stars shrink down and shape up on "Dancing With The Stars."  Now you can share in their weight-loss success and dance off the pounds! Dancing With The Stars: Dancing Off The Pounds was released on December 1 with a suggested retail price of $16.98.

WIN,WIN,WIN
Dancing With The Stars:Dancing Off The Pounds ($16.98 value)

    Even if you wake up and think, "I'm not going to exercise this morning. Too tired." just wake your ass up--make yourself do it. It becomes much easier once you commit. Sometimes I sleep in clothes I'll work out in the next morning so I won't feel I wasted them :)

    It is hard to exercise when you haven't done it in awhile. Just start off with 30 minutes of exercise everyday, reduce or eliminate sugary soda, and eat sensibly. It shouldn't take too long to see some results. vidomich(at)yahoo(dot)com
