Bellydance Wednesdays

I was actually motivated the past couple days to get off my butt and off the computer and do belly-dance drills and move myself. So I found that Lady Gaga's Bad Romance is an excellent song for doing said drills to. So that was exciting, and plus I just love listening to Lady Gaga so, it all works out. So I got myself all pumped up during the day on Wednesday, I did my drills even though I would be doing some later and I felt pretty good, and all jazzed to go to dance. I get there and everyone was more like, "We don't feel like drilling today." So I am glad I did mine earlier! But they were all game for doing yoga.

So this week we did Power Yoga Stamina. Which let me tell you, is fast paced. And we have done this one once before, but I had to stop at points and I had to slow down at times...this week...I totally made it through!! I did the whole thing only have to rest at one point cause he went through a movement to fast. I was so proud of myself and I felt so great afterward. It was really nice. So I felt all proud and accomplished. So, yay! I hope this whole "feeling motivated" thing last for a while cause it's kinda nice, and gets me from just sitting on the computer all day and then feeling bad about it later...haha...so maybe I should stop sitting here writing blogs...off I go!!

Happy Dancing!!

Ow...abs...ow!

So, I haven't really decided what this blog is gonna be. I think I am just excited to have started one and this is fun right now. So on Wednesday I have belly-dance work-out classes with some of my friends. We used to take classes in Elyria with a teacher, but she moved on and we were left to ourselves, so we started our own class. It's been on and off but one of the girls is getting married and wanted us to perform, so here we are dancing again!

So we always start with Yoga first and it can be any different kind of yoga. This week we did Abs Yoga...ow! Pretty much, lying on your back lifting your legs up straight using your abs and then lower them back to the ground slowly. Over and over and over and over and over...omg! But it's nice for me, being a chubbier girl to know that I have abs under there!! I have been feeling them now for 2 days...they are sore but happy!

After we do yoga we do about and hour and a half of belly-dance. We drill the movements and do arms and shoulder work and lots of hips, locking and shimmies. We get sweaty! And then we always finish with some PM Yoga which is a great cool down and it stretches and relaxes the body after all the work we did...it's great!

I usually always feel "blah" about going to belly-dance every week, but once I get there and after the yoga I feel better about it. Cause I know my body needs to move cause it's just sits and doesn't move all week...haha...my bad. So this week was fun and I love doing the yoga!!
