I am a very musically motivated person. In fact when I am creating new routines, I probably spend half of my time on choreography and the other half on picking the music. As you can see from the photos I am always working on playlists! I was in NY this week and taught an event. After class I was asked so many times for my music that I’ve decided to post a modified version of the class playlist. All the songs are available on itunes. Great music makes such a difference. If the music inspires you, you will want to move, shake, and put your entire body into feeling it. This equals major points in terms of results. Doing dance as your cardio is so important for a sexy body. I can’t stress it enough. Before you run out and sign up for a dance class, you have to be careful. (well first of all, you should never run! Running bulks the legs.) Most dance classes are stop and go because you are learning to dance. This is great if you want to learn to be a dancer but if you are just looking for a sexy, dancer type body, you have to be smart with your time. You have to keep your heart rate up to burn calories. We are focused on results not highly technical dance technique. We don’t have time to let our heart rates drop. I recommend first of all if you are not a dancer or if you are not a great cardiovascular performer that you spend some time making a killer play list for yourself. Make it 30 min. Put on your tennis shoes and dance to the beat baby. Shake, turn, do jumping jacks. Just keep moving and changing around the types of moves you are doing. After you get comfortable with that, grab my dance cardio video and learn the dance routines. They are carefully designed to hit your muscles in very specific rotations for amazing results. Once you memorize them, do them with me or to your own play list. I have a new video coming out soon so if you get bored with these routines there are more to come!!!Tip of the month: Girls when working on your arms do high reps and NEVER more than three pounds!!
