Guess what I have been up to?
My friends have been here for more than a week now and we've been spending every single day and night with them just chatting, having dinner outside, and....aerobics!
Yes, it was my first time to go to an aerobic class last night and I had a blast! There were only four young people there and the rest were women in their 60s, including the instructor!
Now I just want to go back to dancing again. I realised I have missed it so much!

Dancing is such good therapy, for depression, better health, weight issues, muscle toning, and mental sharpness, also.

I agree and it's never boring. But my thighs are hurting now.

@toniganzon Dancing forces us to use muscles, we don't usually make use of.

@kobesbuddy That is really so true. And I have more fats on my thighs than any parts of my body.

@LadyDuck Last Friday I went on a business trip and I was invited to a Zumba class. I just observed because I didn't bring any exercise clothes with me. It looked fun.

@toniganzon I have never tried either, it was enough to see videos to skip the idea.

I haven't done aerobics for many years now. Zumba is quite big here but I've never tried that. Glad you had fun!

The women in their 60s who were there weren't good dancers. IN fact the instructor wasn't too. Her body is very stiff.

Just last night the zumba session was held again in our barangay plaza, many people are participating in the physical fitness club.

Dancing is apparently better than going for aerobics.

Aerobics is a combination of dance and exercise.

Oh yes I had a lot of fun. When my mother was still alive we used to practice ballroom dancing a lot. We were invited to a lot of events where we had to dance the waltz, tango, cha-cha.

@Hannihar The problem is I'm too lazy and I couldn't find enough time for that.

@JustBhem Not really. I'm not sure I'd be that diligent. If there's an adult ballet class, I'd like to do that.

That was a one time experience and it's been a year since the last time I was on my bike.

@toniganzon So you aren't biking anymore. So what do you do to maintain that fit figure?

@toniganzon I couldn't dance but aerobics was fine most of the time. (Can't do much with my old bones these days or I would collapse into a heap a few seconds after a few jumps or wigglings! )

My friend who's a professional dancer told us belly dancing is ideal for those who have fast in their belly's which we don't.
