All girls should try this

[Inoo]

About I year ago I started taking belly dance lessons. I absolutely love it and recommend everyone to try it. I know some people aren't keen on exercising but belly dance is so much fun, I assure you Appart from getting rid of those lovehandles and get firmer bottom and tighs you'll improve your coordination and it will make you feel more feminine and beautiful. After my first lesson practically every muscle hurt and I lost about 4 centimeters around my waist after about 10 lessons (and then the waistline isn't my problem area, I can imagain it will do wonders for those who tend get an "appel looking" shape when they put on weigt) so it's a lot more exercise than many people think.

I just wanted to give you an idea of what you can do if you want to start exercising but don't like running or going to the gym.

Greetings Rose, Inoo & linsey,

I am a former belly dance instructor of west palm beach! Yes It is alot of Fun , the music can be as varied as you like and it is sooo good for you too!
For all those who are curious, just check it out: Usually your local Ymca has a class or simply do some research for local listings in your area!

Here are some basics you should know,

1. First & Foremost the music you choose should inspire you, if it doesn't you will not move well. So listen to a variety.

2. You have to start by stretching very gracefully, warming up session is required, Arms and hands need to be welcoming, and gracefull.

3. knees are slightly bent & weight is on Balls of feet not Flat this gives you pivitol movement in the hips

4.Back should be straight, only bending when needed or making a certain move never kept leaning back , as back problems will develop

Enjoy!

My sister just started taking belly dancing lessons a few weeks ago. She said after the first lesson, she was soooo sore the next day. She said it was a great fun workout. She loves it. She is now trying to get me to go too. I am considering it since my muffin top seems to be growing. ugh.

You are so right, Belly dancing really helps. I have been doing this for the past one month. I have lost a significant amount of weight, dunno whether its because of Belly Dancing or my detox Diet.
