Use The Force, Luke!...... to lose weight!

Super thanks to my friend John McIntire for sending this article my way.


SO... if you're a fan of light sabers, Luke Skywalker, or how hot Princess Leia looked in that one outfit...



...you might want to give this a shot.

The newest trend in weightloss is lightsabering to the oldies. Well, okay, not to the oldies. But you do get to wear costumes and stuff.



Don't laugh though. People have come in looking like butter balls and wind up looking like sexy, ripped slabs of hotness.

It's also been an intro for a lot of people to start in martial arts. And a majority of the participants are female. I know a martial arts workout is a killer one... I used to do Krav Maga (Thanks, Andrew!) and that workout nearly left me passing out after each class.

I might need to get me one of these light saber things. Maybe Dan would participate in my workouts then. :)

What the crap is Zumba???

I've gotten this question a few times since mentioning it.

It's this ridiculously fun class that involves dance, aerobics, and great music.

Here's a You Tube clip that goes into what a Zumba class looks like. Get thee to one pronto.

It's really high energy and fun. I went through a whole bottle of water at my first class this morning. At the 1/2 hour point I was thinking "How am I ever gonna get through a whole hour of this???" But you know what? I did. One hour of jumping, grooving, shaking and tapping my fat away. It was a blast. I want to go twice a week now. :)
