Not to mention that I really don’t have time to [...]

Includes 2 Body Slimming WorkoutsAmazon.com
This dance class performed to live drums is similar to an aerobics class in that you elevate your heart rate with movements done to music, but it is different from what you’d see in an aerobics studio. The dancers are barefoot, the moves are more reminiscent of modern and jazz dance than an aerobic routine (though your heart rate won’t know the difference), and the warm-up and all the moves are leading to a progressive routine. This video contains two separate workouts, each with its own warm-up and moves. The first emphasizes body rhythm and dynamics, led by Jennifer Kries. The second is a continuously flowing workout of modern- and jazz-dance movements, led by Lisa Wheeler. The goal of both is to increase physical strength, endurance, flexibility, and lengthening of the body. The video ends with a yogalike cool-down. If you want to get your exercise, and you’d prefer a dance class to traditional aerobics, this could be your workout solution. –Joan Price
