Bollywood Dance

Today, I couldn't run so I found a fun Bollywood Dance workout on Amazon Prime.   I couldn't help but laugh at myself pretty much the whole time.   I loved it.  I loved it even though I knew I looked ridiculous.  I loved it even though I knew, that right now, right here... I won't look like the dancers on the video.   It didn't matter.  I just wanted to have fun and get a good workout.   And it was fun. And with the combination of yesterday's and today's workout... I have some sore muscles.  Which I'm complaining about too much.... but it's the kind of complaining where I'm really not sad.  Secretly I'm happy.   Because sore muscles means I'm building strength in my body.   Strength in my body means I can do more with my body and burn more calories just living each day. It also means I did something difficult and I survived.   Mostly.



It's kinda funny, to me, but the Bollywood type of dancing actually reminds me a little bit of Swing dancing. Where a 'normal person' might take one step, Bollywood and Swing you can take 3 super fast, super bouncy steps in one step... as in, triple step, triple step rock back.  It's exhilarating... but then, in the Bollywood dance not only are you taking lots of quick bouncy steps your sexily swaying your hips and bouncing your shoulders all while looking like a light stepping gazelle... graceful and smooth.  I looked like someone who had lost their battle against gravity and each light footed bounce took whole body exertion.... I may be exaggerating... but only a little... there definitely was a one legged hop, with three bounces where I looked like the above description.... ah, to be a light footed dancer.

This is the part of video where I looked the MOST silly.   But, man, was it fun!

ps...I don't own any rights to these videos.... I think I'm supposed to say something more.  I will take them down if I'm doing something illegal by sharing them.
