Dance monkey, dance! *muahahaha*

I was told that "dancing" is not exercise.  Pardon?!?  My friend, dancing is most certainly exercise.  It is cardio, toning, and builds muscle.  But it's "girly" *hello, 1950's...when did you show up*

Dancing isn't just GIRLY...just like other sports aren't just BOYLY...manish...manly...whatever.  Dancing is a sport, you tw@t.  So I issued a challenge we do my "not really exercise" Zumba/Hip Hop dancing and then we will do running on a treadmill and weights.  We did this all in ONE day...there was a 3 hour break for food and "recovery".

Side Note - I alternate with the treadmill and weights too...so suck it Trebek. 

During Dance time:
I am surprisingly coordinated and KNEW the dances so while I probably don't look "great" I was more the "How I think I look" and they were more the "How I actually look"

 

After 1 hour of Zumba/Hip Hop:
Me (I mean, I wasn't pretty but full of energy):
I found this online...couldn't find a person to credit...sorry.
Them:

***3 hours later***

It was time for their "exercise".  This meant 2+ miles on the treadmill and using the machines.  I was told "try to keep up".  Okay FINE!  I may not run as fast as them but I can run...they finished their miles before I did.  Once done I did 6 sets of 10 on 6 of the 10 machines (focusing on arms and abs)

When I was done I found them

Me: Ummm you okay??? 
Them: I can't feel my legs...and it hurts to breathe a bit
Me: Too many weights...?
Them:  I didn't do the machines
Me: ??? 
Them:  You win...Dancing hurts
Me: *laughing hysterically*
Them: Its not funny
Me: *still laughing*

I might not be in the BEST shape...I could use some improvement but I clearly have a better endurance than someone who just does a little cardio with a lot of weights. 

**Next Day** I was told muscles hurt that they didn't know existed.  

That's right boo...dancing is a FULL body workout not just certain areas.  Next step...YOGA *muahahaha*

**SIDE NOTE** This wasn't my sig other...he knows better *ehhhehehehe*
