Damn, I have a lot of muscles of which I was not previously aware.

(Ow.)

Strangely enough, I enjoy that feeling sometimes. Lets me know I actually did something, I guess.

It's good to know that something is being done, yeah.

I think my new first goal will be to work up to having the endurance and the muscle strength to go through the video straight through once.

What sort of video is it?

[kiya]

It's a belly dance training video that jenett recommended. Sort of newagey in tone (I cracked up at the posture comment that went "Imagine your hips are a shallow bowl filled with your essence"), but it's a pretty good workout of some muscles that I could really do with strengthening.

Hee! Sounds fun - belly dancing is on my list of activities to check out.

Newagey...is it Dolphina?

[kiya]

The group that did the video is called "The Goddess Dancing", and it's called "Dancing the Sacred Shapes".

oh... actually, I studied with them a while in Boston. They're really really sweet... but yeah... very new-agey!

Cool!

"Imagine your hips are a shallow bowl filled with your essence"

...man, I just hear that in Brad Pitt's voice. "You are not a beautiful and unique bellydancing snowflake!" :)

I think there's a really bad porn line in there somewhere, too. In addition to the laughing at the pretentious...

Yeah, I was totally going to point out the improbability (though not the impossibility) of female bukkake there.

S'funny, compadre, I thought your abs were the only muscles you'd been exercising lately. You'd think they'd be good and toned by now, eh?

[kiya]

Thighs. Mostly it's the thighs that have been getting the workouts. :}
