K-e-e-p dancing!

FitSteps® – FANAfter the triumph of Saturday's concert, I'm having a break from choir rehearsals, so for the first time in ages I found myself free on a Tuesday evening. Now, I could have stayed in and tried to bring some semblance of order into the house following today's visit from the tiler. He has left us some stepping-stones so we can leap elegantly from one room to the other without compromising the gunk he has spread all over the hall floor. However, since he is returning tomorrow, I decided this would be pointless.

Fortunately my Zumba teacher friend Brenda supplied the solution in the form of a FitSteps session at the Grampian Club. FitSteps is the brainchild of Ian and Natalie of 'Strictly' fame - and boy! is it a good workout. Give it a go, if you get the chance. Makes Zumba look sedentary.

The other day, one of my yoga students asked me what I meant when I said, 'See if you can feel where your energy is focused.' Good point. Right now my energy is focused in my feet. They are still tingling after the dancing, despite a shower and a meditation session. I trust that this is a good thing.

    1. I can't believe how energetic it is. No wonder all the Strictly celebs lose so much weight.

  4. Hi Julia, I'm focusing energy to the fingertips to keep on typing up the novel. I've been over chapters 1 - 3 about... goodness knows how many times.... all for the good hopefully.
