Yes, ma'am! Sure does.

I took a lot of dance classes in high school, loved them. Ballroom dance, modern dance, interpretive dance... That and ice skating were what I chose as my phys ed electives.

I loved them all. To me they were so much more fun than traditional gym classes or softball, etc.

And I was so limber then. I especially recall that I could get up off the floor without using my hands. Sure wish I could do that now.

I need to start some classes that will get me more exercise than I get sitting at my desk. (LOL)

I can't dance worth a hoot. But I love all types of music, except RAP, not much for that. And I love watching folks dance!
I'll bet you're a good dancer, Anne. A few years ago, WB and I
tried line-dancing. But he's worse than I am at dancing. So that went nowhere!!! LOL...

Jabber, since Steve wears full-length leg braces, he's not much of a dancer, either. He gamely danced with me once at our wedding, but we haven't danced since then.

There are so many things he does well, I make a point not to ask him to do things that are too much of a physical challenge. However, we both DO need to find some sort of physical activity we can do for our health.

I'm not too fond of treadmills, and I bet it's been 20 years since I rode my bike. Guess I either need to join the gym again and force myself to drive there at least 3 times a week - or I need to buy some exercise tapes and start working out in my family room here at home.

I workout in front of the TV 5 days a week while watching Good Morning America. I have to do exercises the first thing, before anything else, including breakfast, or I can't do 'em. I lift weights, do sit-ups, and 200 crossovers per day. Stuff like that. Plus I walk a minimum of a mile and half a day. I'll bet if you get some exercise ideas off the net, you can work-up your own routine.

I work out at home as well. I used to go to an early-morning class but had to change my routine after I tore my achilles tendon (not from exercising; it was a bad fall in the mud). My elder daughter is a whiz at this stuff and is very dedicated, so I mentally dragged myself into much the same stuff.

Once you get used to it and get a small library of exercise dvds that you like, you're good to go. No getting dressed in anything coordinated, no having to get somewhere in the weather, etc.

Most of my stuff is Billy Blanks and The Firm, but I have some Michelle Dozois, Amy Bento, and even a kettlebell workout. That last one is super hard and only for my best days. I have 2-lb weights, 5-lb weights, and a 10-lb kettlebell. That's all the equipment I think I need.

If you're looking around for stuff, I can recommend the Collage Video website. They have thousands of dvds and you can search by type, plus see a brief video of each so you can decide if you might like it. They have beginner to advanced levels, even routines for people in chairs, so all levels are covered.

Oh, there are also a lot of 10-minute-type exercises that allow you to do 1-5 routines that are 10 minutes each. Once I got used to working out at home, I really got to like it, so good luck!

Well, tonight is the last "Dancing with the Stars" show of this season. Who do you predict will be the winners?

It looks as if JR will win. But they're all good. The routines they do are so incredible it's mind-blowing. Actually they should give all three couples that get to the finals, a mirror ball trophy. This is dancing to the extreme! IMHO!!!

I love it when this show is on TV. I miss it when it isn't.
Perhaps it's such fun to watch, because it gets your mind off world troubles for a little while! IMHO it's very entertaining!
