Although I am so out of shape that within the 1st 5 minutes I'm in pain and about ready to fall down, but I really enjoy it. Have fun! -------------------- *~Karen~* wife to hubby, Ryan Douglas mommy to Kylie (9) and Megan (6.5) and furbabies Gavin, Buster, Sox, and Hailey

Ahhh, you will LOVE it. It doesn't even seem like exercise. It's just that 1st 5 minutes I sway between loving it and feeling too much pain. I KNOW the more you do it the quicker that feeling will go away. It's just working out areas of the leg (at least mine, lol) that don't get worked out too much due to sitting at a desk all day.

I certainly won't look THAT graceful - more like a trainwreck about to happen

I so want to take dance lessons with DH but so far he won't do it - I keep trying - was thinking of just signing us up then he won't have a choice
