Fitness from the Far East

I first turned to belly dancing to mend a broken heart. This actually had a counterproductive effect — after class I would feel all sexy and hip-rolley and realize I had no one at home to try out my awesome moves on.  Eventually with time and a rebound or two my sorrow dissipated, but my love of belly dance, and later Bollywood and Bhangra, stayed strong. Since classes are expensive, I've learned to nurture my Belly/Bolly/Bhangra dance love through technology. Here, a list of my favorite Far East Fitness DVDs:

Dance Workout - fun!

So I got bored and tried a belly dance workout routine off youtube, and surprisingly, it wasn't bad. It was great cardio and especially good on my calf muscles, which I think don't get as much focus as thighs and glutes in most workout routines. It was half an hour total and I'm actually inclined to buy a workout video now.

Just the motivation I need!!

I've been on the track to a healthier mind and body slowly for the past probably 7 years (like I said slowely! :D) Over the years I've gone from about 180 to my current weight at about 140...

Belly Dance Round Up

Belly dancing holds a powerful sway over many women. It's somewhat like tango, or even yoga: I've seen friends with eclectic fitness tastes stop at belly dancing, and stay there for years. Much like tango or yoga, the dance brings its own culture, music, and, um, fashion sensibility. It's got depth, and it's clearly got surface.... Need an effective way to warm up for bikini season?
