Days 3 and 4

Day 3 - I did nothing. Slept through the afternoon

Day 4 - Made up for lost day. I did Jessica Smith’s Flat Abs Walk and Classical Stretch 1013 (Stomach Flattening Workout).

New Discovery

So my parents have been raving about this program on PBS, "Classical Stretch". They love it so much they purchase some of Miranda Esmond-White's dvds. I finally borrowed one to see what the fuss is all about, and much to my surprise the first work out (they are all about 25 min long, this clip is a mini version of the first one I did) was much like a modern dance class warm up! 

In fact, the more workouts I have tried, my rusty dance muscles have thanked me for getting back in touch with them, feels so good! So this is my latest inspiration to you old dancer friends - If you need something new, some new elements to add to class, something to help your body feel like it did when you took class, or to help you in-between class, and to you friends that aren't dancers but want to feel like a dancer….try some of her workouts! Some are posted free on YouTube, or search your local PBS channel.

Edit: I just realized she has a whole collection of mini-workouts right on her own website! So if you need a little taste, go check them out here: http://www.essentrics.com/mirandaeducationalvideo.html
