Not necessarily building the body I want, but instead helped my cardio a little. When I went to the gym last week, I was so scared I wouldn't be able to last my 20 minutes on the elliptical machine, but instead only noticed a slight increase in heart rate. This was nice because I hadn't been going to the gym that regularly, so I'm assuming the dancing has helped keep my heart in check. Dancing has definitely helped me in the past couple weeks.

Good gawd. In an instant I was reminded what a real workout is (huffing, puffing, almost collapsing light headedness) vs my 'brisk walking' 3 miles everyday to the lightrail. Still, the dancing and walking are definite improvements over sitting on the couch. This weekend I finally made it back onto the eliptical machine @ the gym. Good gawd.
