Fun workouts

What I like to do as a work out. I love to dance, I have learned a lot of different dances. A couple from different animes and a couple from lady gaga. So on my ipod I have a dance mix, with all the songs for those dances. I start at one song and go all the way through them. Its just a lot of fun.

DDR is always a good one, but not everyone has it ; )


Try practicing the dance routine of a PV you like, many of them take much more stamnia than you think. Not to mention You'll have to do it 500times over when you are still learning them ;D

Or alternatively, just but a few danceable numbers on your mp3, screw up the volume and dance like an idiot. Just like when you were like 10 years old, pretending to be a super star xD Just... make sure no one can walk in on you/the curtains are closed because you WILL look like an idiot.

Three words: Flirty. Girl. Fitness.

It's a fitness dvd set that basically, you dance kind of sexy, but MAN it burns good and you learn to dance well (okay, not for the young or those who don't want to come off as skanky and such) but it's mostly booty shaking and like club dancing. I stop before it gets too sexual (like the chair/pole dancing, TOO MUCH)

I learn Korean pop dance moves from music videos. Soo fun and tiring!

hip hop abs is a great dance/exercise video thing to do. the DVDs aren't cheap though. >:\

Hey what do ya know look what I found.

For those what want the DDR route, but do not have a console, go to you local game store and look for a dance pad with usb. Download stepmaina- a free DDR clone for your pc, then download your favorite songs made for the game and go to town!

On the weekend I like to play play video games.

All day long.

While on a treadmill.

Set at a speed of 2.0 it's just like walking all day at a con. Every half hour I put the controller down and turn up the speed so I can run for at least fifteen minutes. I then proceed to do as many push-ups and/or jump squats (it helps to make your kicks look better when cosplaying those types of characters) I usually grab a snack get back onto the treadmill and start playing video games again.

I also have a gave I play with my brother, that is very tiring, but very fun. Though I would only suggest doing this with someone you trust completely.

Find a place littered with large branches, pick one up and then use it to try and break the branch the other person is holding. If one breaks, quickly pick up another one and get back to it.
