Intense cardio 6 days a week takes its toll on my little legs. And I have a leg workout with Paul Anthony tomorrow. Today I asked myself if my gams will make it through the next 13 and a half weeks of training. And if training isn't challenging enough, how about adding a dance class on top of that! Yes, I took a dance class today and it's all for a good cause. I'm taking part in an annual fundraiser put on by Arthur Murray Dance School. It's called Spring Fling and it's a gala event that raises money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. I'm part of the "Dancing with Calgary Celebrities" portion of the event. (apparently I'm a Calgary Celebrity ... ha!). I've never taken dance lessons before ... besides learning the chicken dance and fox trot in high school. But I decided to get out of my comfort zone and go for it!
Today was lesson one and I'm learning the "slow and sexy" Rumba. Now don't do what I did and go to Youtube to see what the Rumba looks like. I saw 2 sexy, tight professional dancers practically having sex standing up with their clothes on. That's not the Rumba I'm doing. I've got some work to do ... but I hope ... after all these lessons ... I'll at least look a little bit sexy. Hmmm ... maybe I'll wear a short skirt to show off my well toned legs.
What have you done to get out of YOUR comfort zone?
Workout: Cardio 25 spin bike, 20 treadmill walking incline all the way UP!
