I just watched this show on FitTV. Shimmy teaches belly dancing in a similar viewing format with Namaste Yoga, which I also love. I like the changing backdrops and that the models are attractive but aren’t all tall, blonde supermodel types. (No offense if you are a tall, blonde supermodel!) Okay, I know this sounds odd but the changing backdrops and camera angles really help me to focus. So far, these two are the only exercise type shows that I can really get through without getting distracted and wandering off during the commercials. I actually broke a sweat! I tried to get the kids to do it with me but they declined. They’ve jumped in a few times when Namaste Yoga was on so I’m not counting them out yet.

Been thinking I need to move around more. I don’t want to lose or gain weight nor do I want to get up early and be in the gym at 5 a.m. like I did when I was in my 20’s. Just want to have more energy, be toned and feel stronger. My dad’s side of the family has several marathoners so I’ve also been thinking about running. Hey! You can stop laughing now! Okay, more like “run/walk” or maybe “jog.” Yeah, that sounds more like it.
