Oh, ok.

Was it expensive to learn?

It does get costly. I won't lie about that.

Here is another couple from our group. (They are married.)


By the way, my wife doesn't dance. Not one lick. In fact, she dances about as well as Barney Fife sings. So, I haven't been on a dance floor in nearly four years. LOL

Just get up during church. Most song services last at least 15 - 30 minutes. Doing a fierce "shockamoo" for that long 3 times a week will truly burn some calories.

With the meds I'm on weight gain is inevitable. They told me that after I had put on 30+ pounds. I'm now at 40+. I eat between 1500 and 2000 calories a day and log every bite. My exercise however is sporadic at best.

Going through this it's occured to me that what I need is something that is "cultural" and routine to provide the workouts I'm missing. Our earliest ancestors had the daily routine of running from cave bears to supply the needed burn. Once we killed off the biggest predators things have tended toward idleness and ease. Hunting one another helps, but that's increasing frowned upon- and nukes make it pretty much an idle thing as well.

Our Western societies really do need to implement some sort of trend, fashion or fad that is easier on the joints than jogging was but still provides the aerobics needed by our increasingly obese citizens.

I think dancing would be a great answer. Or the martial arts work-outs, which pretty much equate to line dancing anyway. We would be doing our culture a great benefit if we could tame the shockamoo and harness its energies more toward a vertical aspect of worship that invites other to participate in the "dance" of the redeemed.

Just a thought. What's wrong with dancing anyway? Just look at Hebrews for a good example of what I'm trying to describe here.

But at least switching to Geico was STILL easy enough for them!

Well, I agree with the need for regular activity/exercise, but since I've got two left feet, I have requested a bike for my birthday. I haven't rode a bike since my daughter was a baby, but before that, I was always on a bike. I think that is a great exercise for people who are looking for something less jarring on the joints! And it's fun!

(actually, for the sake of truthfulness, I ordered my bike yesterday, my parents will be out of the country on my birthday and they told when I found what I wanted to order it! So I did!)

Shall we Dance was a good movie, except Vannesa Williams would NOT have won 1st place at the end of the film based on her routine.

Vanessa was in Dance With Me.

Shall We Dance was J. Lo and Richard Gere.
