Works for Me Wednesday

I was inspired by Shannon's post of Karate to include what I do for exercise. Since I live in Ohio, I can never expect to have nice warm, sunny days every morning to take a brisk walk in. One day it's a blizzard and the next it is raining. A few months ago I invested 29.95 (I used a 50% off coupon) for a computer game called Dance Praise. It is amazing. It is like DDR but using popular Christian songs. There is no profanity. On this program you hook up a mat to your USB port in your computer and you're good to go. You dance to the music and score points depending on how many times you step on the right spot at the right time. There are several different ways to play and they even have an exercise program. You can also play against a friend if you get an extra mat. It is a great indoor exercise. To me it works a little like Jazzercise because you're dancing to the music (except you'd have to add your own warmups and cool downs and/or weights). I figure even if I did have to pay the full price it still would equal about one month of any of those exercise gyms (not that they're bad but you do have to drive there). My family and friends love it too!
