Drop The Baby Weight

Confession: I love this show on FitTV.

The lovely boot that I had to wear for my stress fracture was about half an inch higher than the sneaker I wore on the other foot, so by the time I got the boot off, my left hip felt permanently hitched up. The Shimmy girls came to my rescue! (That is totally my husband’s dream sequence, I just know it.) Several Egyptian steps and Turkish figure eights later and I can feel my hip starting to relax into proper alignment.

Note: bellydancing is simultaneously easier and harder than you think. It’s just easy enough to be loads of fun, and hard enough to make you realize that you are getting a serious workout with even the simplest moves. Bonus: you can do it barefoot! it includes arm-waving and head-nodding! Coin belts are optional, but compared to the usual fitness gear, they rawk!
