Dancing For Fitness (giveaway)
Ladies, I would like to ask for a show of hands: how many times has this conversation been performed in your living room:
Act I
(watching Prime Time TV)
Wife: Wow, these dances are so exciting and romantic! Honey, we should take ballroom dancing lessons together!
Husband: *mumbles something negative in nature*
Act II
(reading the newspaper)
Wife: Look at this ad for ballroom dancing lessons! The first lesson is free, all levels of experience welcome!
Husband: (half-heartedly) Oh! Yeah.
*End Scene*
While it isn’t likely that I will be taking lessons in a dance studio any time soon, or even wearing a leotard, I am excited about my two new DVD’s I was sent for review: Dancing with the Stars: Dance Off the Pounds and Dancing with the Stars: Dance Body Tone.
Dancing with the Stars: Dance Off the Pounds is lots of fun as it teaches you full dance routines to get your heart rate pumping.
You learn swing, jive, and quickstep routines, and have a cool down as well.
Dancing with the Stars: Dance Off the Pounds is about $8 on Amazon and a refreshing change from the traditional aerobic fitness DVD workout.
Dancing with the Stars: Dance Body Tone is not as step-by-step as Dance Off The Pounds, so you might find yourself pausing and rewinding.
The first section has a Latin theme, teaching Rhumba, Cha Cha and Merengue moves. The second section is Tango, and lastly you get “Freestyle” (my specialty). All together Dancing with the Stars: Dance Body Tone is a 50 minutes workout, available on Amazon for $8.
I have one copy of each DVD to give away!
1.) To enter to win, leave me a comment telling me what you do for exercise. I haven’t had a workout routine in YEARS. I’m trying to ride my bicycle more, and I’m probably doing 40 minutes every other day. Of course I bike to restaurants, then eat, then bike home. Seriously. Is that bad?
Please don’t just comment with “Enter me” or “Sounds great”. That totally annoys me. Those entries are not eligible to win.
One winner will be chosen by random number generator.
This giveaway is open to those with a US mailing address.
2.) Email subscribers get an extra entry for as long as their subscription is active.

I was a dancer for 20 yrs and then I got a job and had to find other ways to exercise. I walk, ride bikes and I do go to the gym evey now and again. 10 yrs ago I developed DVT and well that put a damper on some activities but I still keep active.
06 January 2010, 3:01 pm
I bike to work and back (only 10 mins each way), and also go to weekly classes offered by my university. A mix of toning, yoga, and intervals.
07 January 2010, 6:20 am
Last year I exercised regularly … this year I’ve been a slug. So it’s time to start again and one of these DVDs would be great. Normally I either walk for an hour or I jump on my mini-trampoline for at least 30 minutes.

During the summer I was doing really good taking regular walks with the family (we have miles of wonderful trails to walk) but we have not be doing that lately due to the snow and the trails are now busy with snowmobiles. So I haven’t been doing much and really need to for my health and well being! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!
