Today was day one of my 40 workouts in 40 days and my first workout was the Goddess workout
. The woman in the workout is name Ophelia and she seems to be a pretty good belly dance guru. I am not and it was funny, but I could definitely feel the burn in my hips and abdomen during the workout.
I have danced before so it was easy for me to pick up. I said easy to pick up but not easy to do if that makes any sense. I have not had any belly dance lessons so the hip movement was hard. I got the “just” of it, but looked terribly funny doing it…lol
The shoulder is burning a bit now and not in a good way. I hope this subsides and does not turn into an ibuprofen day, so we will see. I took out the arms a lot and just focused on the abdomen, hips and thighs.
There is a “shimmy” part in the end and this woman can shimmy. Oh my lord, I don’t know how she does it. Then she adds some hip movement into her shimmy. I had not idea how to do that. Thanks goodness my 3-year old was entertained with his video game because I may have scared him a bit.
So, not my absolute favorite workout but it was good. I know this would tone the ans and hips if I did it more. Let’s see what tomorrow bring.
