Previews of 2 new Workouts

Luscious - The Bellydance Workout for Beginners (Amazon $12.99)

This arrived yesterday and I previewed most of the DVD including the instructions. I'm really excited to try this and also a little afraid. I haven't got much coordination, and the little I do is not necessarily sexy. All I wish for is a successful first run through where I don't break anything. Hopefully I'll be able to follow along without the instructional section, but I'm glad it's there just in case I need it. One good sign is that I found myself winding my hips while sitting on the couch during the preview-- that must mean something.

Element: Ballet Conditioning (Amazon $7.49)

After previewing this, I'm certain it will be much harder than anything I've done to date. This woman Elise Gulan is rock solid. She has rocks where her bum should be and I'm thoroughly concerned and afraid that I won't make it through the first session. I read somewhere that this workout should be good for a relaxing morning session-- but I'm convinced that a body that has been dormant for 6+ hours will not be able to handle this. My guess is that's perhaps I'll be strong enough for a morning session after my first 10 practices.

I'm certain that it will take me at least 10 practices to get through a full session without stopping, or wheezing.

This said, it'll be worth it to get Elise's buns of steel!
