That's another problem Paul! The instructors are professional dancers so you can imagine how fit they are! Its a bit off putting trying to do it when you are huffing and puffing like a beached whale.... oh well back to Mr Motivator I think!! lol Bev x

Hi Bev, I too have decided that today was the day I had to start exercising, so last night I asked hubby to make me get out of bed and go for a run/walk round the block when he got up. At 5.30 (an hour and a half ago) I pulled on my trainers and off I went.. its 75 out there all ready so I had to go otherwise I wouldnt have been able to do it later. Well I feel so much better for doing it.. lets hope I keep it up, but when you haven't done anything like it ages!! you realise how unfit you are (thats me). Debs x

I agree with you Debbie! I put the video on thinking I might work up a bit of a sweat... what an understatement!! Good on you for starting your running.... Bev x

Well Bev, It has to be done, I think when your over 30 the weight is so much harder to shift, and I want to be able to run properly.. that means not running then stopping, the only thing is im sure I smelt dead skunk and its not pleasant at the best of times, let alone 5.30 ish in the morning!! Good luck with your video. Debs x
