Follow up to the bellydancing thing,  and I’m not using that word again in this post:

Really…. i’d have to say…

Eh.

I mean, it was good and I’d go again if Mike happened to be around to have the kids and it all just worked out –  but I wouldn’t go out of my way to schedule it. She was an excellent instructor and I liked her and the class.

But.

Although there was SOME sweating, it wasn’t that intense at all. And that’s kinda a big requirement with me. And although there was a lot of weird ab stuff, I’m not sore at all today and that’s another requirement if I’m going to like a class enough to go back regularly.

There has to be some pain. There was no pain.

There was a lot of interesting things involving what!?-i-did-NOT-know-my-butt-could-do-that-huh- cool! type stuff, but that only goes so far.

Anyway. Excellent idea to try something new. Will probably go back eventually but more for the novelty and not for the workout.

If considering something similar, it would probably be better to take a friend who you could laugh at (and with) when you’re learning to shimmy and do fast, sharp hip shaky things.  Oh, and unless you have a teeny little butt (and I do not), you’ll probably end class with a greater appreciation for it than when you start class. The bigger it is, the more it does what it’s supposed to do.

I refuse to put the word asset in that last paragraph. Are you waiting to see if I will? I didn’t. I couldn’t. Ew.
