Shimmy Shimmy Cocoa Puff...

This past weekend I learned that I can shimmy with the best of them! Shimmy is a cool belly dancing "work-out" on FitTV and believe it or not I actually like it (me and physical activity usually don't mix well)! 

Combinations of hip moves and shoulder rolls (a stiff version of the an old school fave - "the snake") made for an interesting 20 minutes. But it wasn't the "go-head-sweat-girl-feel-the-burn" type of activity that I want and need.

So, I've decided to switch between Shimmy and Yoga to supplement to my real exercise...but its something that I definitely recommend. I felt a little silly at first and probably didn't look super hot and exotic like a belly dancer should but whatever, it was fun and I will continue to SHIMMY (heck, I might even invest in one of those coined sarongs). And you should SHIMMY too, even if its just your shoulders while reading this!
