Ah thigh dancing. A Lotte Burke and Physique 57 signature. It really is a great way to tone and lengthen your hamstrings, bulk begone!

So here’s how it goes. I really wish I had a video of this one, but I have no idea how to do that. Do I need a video camera? Hmmmm

So anyways this is how you thigh dance. This is best to use as a finesse move after a lower body workout.

First put on a great song, such as Baby Got Back or my recent fav, Beyonce’s, Get Me Bodied (FAB!)

Now kneel down with your knees hip distance apart.

Now lower your butt one inch from your feet, you should feel the hamstrings activated.

Now shake hips side to side, so you are just skimming your feet. Really feel the beat, so it is not too painful! After about 30 seconds back and forth, start shaking while raising and lowering your butt…feel the burn!

Next up, thrusts. So basically lower to one inch about your feet and then thrust forward, pushing pelvis in front of you. Add overhead punches to keep your mind off the work in your legs.

Thrust side to side-so raise your hips up and thrust and punch to the right and left. Note: all this should look and feel fairly sexual, however, maybe not sexy 🙂

Final move is the lasso. Swirl your hips to the right as you raise and lower. At the same time, Swirl your arms above your head like you are holding two lassos! Reverse to the left.

Stretch it out!

Oh I just started reading Single-ish a blog by Glamour. It’s pretty good!

I have definitely hit my afternoon slump, but I am doing everything in my power not to run out for a Diet Coke!

I hope to do a lower Manhattan run after work, down by the Seaport to check out the Waterfalls. I planned to go during my lunch hour but my girlfriend called, and who can turn down a ladies lunch?

This weekend I am going hiking for the first time in forever. I am nervous, and I’ll let you know how it goes! The boy I am dating suggested it, and of course, I am totally swooning that I found a boy that would suggest a fitness related date! Although hiking clothes aren’t too cute. Maybe I can work the girl next door thing? I typically don’t write too much about my love life, but that is also because the last guy I was dating read my blog. So shhh!

Have a great weekend!
