Are workouts that are actually FUN few and far between??? i hope not!

I don't love walking on my treadmill.

i know i need to workout, and it's not always convenient for me to go for a walk outside.  so the treadmill works.  but most times... it can be.... eh.

Good music can make it fun, or watching one of my favorite tv shows can make the time go fast, but it's not something that I normally look forward to.  (like when I took a Zumba class -  OH MY GOSH, best teacher, best class!!!!  I'd burn 750 calories in an hour and it was the most fun!!!)

but last night?  I don't know what happened.  I had a blast on my treadmill! I was working up a sweat and instead of feeling winded and tired and counting down every second until it was over.... I was almost tempted to put another mile in!

i said... "almost tempted"   LOL

I didn't - because I wanna keep checking that I don't purchase a one-way ticket to crazy town. 

Yes. I look exactly like David Luiz scoring a goal... when I workout in Crazy Town.  Doesn't everyone?  lol

but back to my workout last night...  it was pretty cool that I actually enjoyed it!!!    

I'm dying for some really FUN workouts.  I've done hula (that's fun and really works your muscles - but doesn't make me sweat)  I've done belly-dancing (I end up feeling so stretched out and it's sooooo fun! but again - doesn't really get me sweating)  The most fun workout I've ever done at home???  The dance games on the Xbox 360 with kinect.  We did that at a party once.... not only is it a FUN workout.... but it will actually work your muscles AND get you sweating!!!

downside?  you have to buy that whole system... with the kinect.. and the games.  

which is expensive.. but do-able.  It just always seems that the time comes to actually buy it and there's always something more important to spend the money on. 

Recently my kids have been watching ebay and there seem to be some great deals there.... I'll let you know if I eventually get it ;)  but there will NOT be any videos of me dancing hahahahaha  

I'll keep that sweet piece of embarrassment to myself, thank you very much.

SO... here's my request.  LOL Like I said, this blog was kinda just for myself in the beginning so I didn't tell anyone about it, but I have 200 views of it now!!! in just a week!!!!  So - SOMEONE is reading it hahahahaha  If any of you brave souls want to suggest some fun workouts for me - would you leave a comment?  :)   Don't be shy.  I don't bite.  :)  Also, I wanted to start doing some yoga - but there are A BAZILLION yoga dvds!!!!  Any suggestions as to one that you really really like???

That would be awesome.  :)

oh yeah... 

One of my goals? One day, to be able to do this.

 BarStarzz Strict Zombie Press    

yep.  she just did that.

And there is NO time limit on this cuz right now I can't even imagine myself being strong enough to do this! hahahahaha

but is this chick unreal or what?!?!?!  she's my hero ;)   (i hope you can see this video... it's from facebook. i couldn't find it online anywhere else.) it's from the BarStarzz facebook page.

I know it's seems extraordinarily difficult, and I almost want to tell myself to forget about it!  But... she wasn't able to do it the first time she tried.  Rome wasn't built in a day, right?

I encourage you all to give yourself that one seemingly unachievable goal.  (and then send me a picture of you achieving it someday! )

later... the treadmill is calling ;)
