Move and Shake It!

Never been a jogger in my life. Always hated it. But I gave it go one day in August 2017 and fell in love. When it gets colder, I typically stay inside, but I keep on moving my body.  Move it, shake it, twist and push!  Some of my workouts, especially the belly dancing moves, I can do while doing something else, like dishes or brushing my teeth, for example.

I do the Confusion Method, which is a different set of workouts every session, to keep my body from getting used to the same old same old.

I'm also working out 5-6 times a week nowadays, as of October 2018.
