CHANGING ROOM CHAT...DECEMBER...WEEK 3...TIME to MOVE...!

[Oldfloss]

Hello and welcome to the Changing Room at the start of a very buy week ! Grab a seat, a cool drink and rest a while.

Well, things are getting busy for so many of us, and maybe, just maybe, we need to take a little bit of extra care of ourselves.

I know that I am trying to up my workouts a little, making sure I start each day with a gentle session of YWA and sneaking in some extra moves, when I feel the need, physically or mentally!

We all know what sort of stuff we should be doing to support our bodies...the ideas here on the forum are extensive, but, in keeping with the idea of putting a little bit of fun into our workouts, this week... I have saved this one up!

Because... I though that we could, if we have the time... ha ha ha...

"Dance our Way to the Winterval Celebrations to come"!

Dancing, as a workout? I can see some of you head shaking, or nose wrinkling... but do not dismiss it out of turn.

As well as being fun, it is, actually, good for us! A great cardio workout, that can be tweaked or adapted to all our levels!

The benefits are many, and varied... improving heart health, reducing stress, the list goes on., and like so many things we do, when those feel good endorphins are released into our body, they work their special magic.

There is a heck of a lot of choice out there too...quite literally, something for everyone! From Ballet to Zumba and everything in between.

Today though I have chosen a few links I feel may be useful...

Some great ones... just for us.... and some for workouts with the family. Children finishing school for the holiday, lots of energy to burn, small ones needing to curb the excitement and for us... maybe time to let our hair down and shake it all up a bit !

You may want to check some out first, as they can be fairly energetic!

Take a look and scroll around... you may find something that appeals!

So... are you up for it...do you do any dance work-outs at all... have you any favourite songs that you do like to move to?

More importantly...will you give it a try...? Go on... give it a go!

A feel good, beneficial fun session, to get everything moving and hopefully making us smile

Hoping some folk, may join me here this week...but if not, ( I know how busy folk are), I shall be boogieing along, quite happily

🍏Well my happy hormones got off to a good start this morning just looking at that wonderful picture!! It really had me laughing! It’s been an extremely busy week for me but a beautiful carol service tonight to begin Christmas week. I shall take time out today to dance a little in between the Family Face Times! Thank you Old Floss & I will also be waiting at the Finish Line 🏁 later when it’s warmer…

Just you and I then.... we can have fun, dancing out way to the New Year... Enjoy your carol service and thanks for being at that finish line for me!

I can just see you with little runner in dancing doing some of these dance videos! 👏👏👏💃🏽🕺🏼

I’ve not properly danced today, but my step routine almost felt like dancing with a choreography and great music!

happy dancing!

[Oldfloss Administrator in reply to CBDB]

I guessed as much... looking at the steps posts it does seem like a real choreography session... Small one and I do a lot of running around and we do have a tendency to throw in a few dance moves... nothing like it for getting those feel good endorphins, whizzing around the body!

Well done you!

[Wavy-chick28]

Definitely going to give the dancing a go! Sounds like fun x

[Oldfloss Administrator in reply to Wavy-chick28]

That is great... I think it will be fun and if it helps... small runner in training and I have been shaking our stuff!

[Wavy-chick28]

small runners are the best tonic ‘

[Oldfloss Administrator in reply to Wavy-chick28]

They are...and a great workout, anytime Her Yoga moves are enviable! 😀

[Wavy-chick28]

so true 😂
