Do a Little Dance....

[carbcounter999]

Hi all,

I'm pretty new here, second time around with Atkins, and 2 weeks under my belt.

Just wanted to share that I knew I needed to do some exercise this morning but didn't feel like going for a walk or doing an aerobics tape. So I turned up the music and danced around my apartment instead! Got my heart rate up, was sweating it up and having a great time :icondance

Just a kick in my butt that even when it seems like nothing will fit the bill for exercise for the day, a little creativity can make it not seem like a chore!

Hey, you're moving! Good for you!

Welcome Carbcounter!

Just do whatever you enjoy and you'll soon be wanting to do more.

Have you thought of taking up one of the exercise challenges? The president's challenge lists dancing as one of the activities. You just log everything you do and eventually you get a medal :yes

Hey "carbcounter999"
You KEEP ON DANCIN'! The very first time I ever did Atkins I danced-ALOT. Dancing is a very good way to burn up calories and have fun at the same time.
Glad to hear you've chosen Atkins and glad you're here on the exercise board! Keep posting and have a great low carb day today!

Be well-
jade :wave

It really does lift your spirits :nod I turn up the tunes and get my 7 year old rockin with me,a bit of exercise and playtime all wrapped in one :guns

I love dancing! Have you heard of Dance Dance Revolution? Loads of fun and a great workout too!

[carbcounter999]

Thanks for the encouragement all!

Dance Dance Revolution looks neat. Although I'm guessing I need to have an XBox or PS2? Probably not in my budget right now. Anyone know if there's a cheap-o version?

Regardless, there will be lots more boogey-ing in my future. And hopefully some of the next line in the song! (Do a little dance, make a little love....) :icondance
