Having a hard time trying to exercise because of unfavorable weather conditions? Hindered by the lack of funds for costly gym workouts?
Not a problem. Try this. Steal away to a private room, turn on some peppy tunes, and dance . . . dance . . . dance.
Dancing is, by far, an incredible fun and relaxing form of exercise. And it's inexpensive. When combating daily stresses, exercise can do wonders for the mind and body. Along with reducing stress and lifting our spirits, dancing strengthens our heart and all those other tight muscles.
See, as we dance (exercise), we release small molecules known as endorphins in our bodies. These endorphins act just like a drug and gives us a high. A "happy" high--a sort of well-being and satisfied feeling. So the more we exercise, the more endorphins we release--the more endorphins released, the happier we are.
For a truly hilarious dancercise, try some 'Ole school tunes. It's okay to laugh, cry, holla and scream . . . but don't stop dancing.
And, oh, if dancing is taboo in certain homes, don't despair. Gather some fast-paced praise songs and jump up and down and move all around and shout. . . shout . . . shout. As long as we can keep that adrenaline pumping, we're making progress in reducing stress.
Peace I leave with you . . .

Bravo Saundra Kay,
I have been known to dance a tune or two when no one is around. I love to dance it is a great way to relieve stress and laugh a little.
Also, I love the Dance Dance Revolution Video Game. When people come over sometimes I pull it out and after a while no one can resist.
Have a great week.
Elizabeth
