Feeling Quite Pleased With Myself

Well,

Yesterday being a bank holiday I was lucky enough to not be working.  I did myself proud.  I got up when I felt like it, which in retrospect turned out to be about 7 o'clock, had my non carb breakfast of 3 eggs scrambled with linseed sprinkled on the top and a black coffee.  Then I put Camilla Dallerup's workout on the DVD and did the whole hour's workout with her.  I only do it about twice a week but I am now remembering some of the sequences so I can concentrate on getting quality into the moves instead of rushing trying to keep up.  I can also get right through to the end without feeling like a corpse!

Then,

I still had some energy left so I put on Keti Sharif's A - Z of Bellydance and tried, for the second time, to get a handle on moves L - P.  P is brilliant because although I have seen it danced lots of times I never really worked out that I didn't actually have this in my movement vocabulary so mission of the week is to take the DVD to belly dancing on Wednesday and learn it with my partner-in-crime, Chris.  She has the laptop, I have the DVD and between us we are gonna crack this move!

In the middle of belly dancing, my friend phoned and we went out for a drink and a chat and 5 hours later I came home feeling like I actually LIVED.  So many days just pass in a haze.  So many good intentions get swept away.  Getting up, going to work, rushing around after work trying to get things done is the norm, but yesterday was MY day and it felt great.  COPY ME PLEASE.

         

Here is a bit of a Keti sharif dvd

Belly Dance is good for overall body toning

Belly Dance is Good for Overall Body Toning Belly dance works on so many levels...... A regrettable aspect of modern life is that we don't use our bodies enough. Computers and cars mean we sit and stay inactive so much and we can't do anything about that. But we can find something energetic and fun to do outside those times! Muscles that don't get used much become "flabby" looking.  Conversely well toned muscles look shapely. With our style of energetic and celebratory belly dance your legs, bum and arms will become more shapely and your waist will pull in as the obliques (diagonal muscles from the ribs to the hip) tone up, particularly with our style of belly dance. Kylie Minogue swears that her shape, particularly her bum comes from dancing. Our style of belly dance uses all the muscles in the body in a really enjoyable way. What is of particular significance is the way all the smaller underlying muscles get used. The problem with conventional muscle training regimes is that they tend to focus on only the large really obvious muscle groups and there can then be a tendency to develop a "hard" muscular look.  The belly dance we do tends to use all the muscles more evenly so you tend to develop a nice overall tone as the pictures of Zehara show. Yet Zehara has never done any physical training other than her dancing. (Other than an odd bit of stretching here and there).  Our classes are upbeat and rely on generating celebratory and uplifting atmosphere created by charismatic and expert belly dance teachers, good sound systems and using the best World Music around.
