Sansone about space and money

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to add that has 1 and 2 mile videos for free on demand. I

don't know how many companies she has them with...but I'm with AT & T Uverse and

they have been on our Free on Demand list for at least six months. There are

also two different 15 minute videos of hers on youtube. I own 3 different

DVDs...but I have tried some of these others for the sake of variety.

About the space requirements...she says in pretty much every video when she gets

to the part where she walks around...that if you don't have enough room to do

the two steps forward/back/sideways to just continue walking in place. The main

idea is just to keep moving to the beat of the music and you will burn calories

whether you actually move or just step in place.

longing for it during the day at my desk job. The feel of moving my body for

movement's sake, my cares melting away as I get my blood pumping . . .

But I need a place.

different degree. Most of my income is gone before I can do anything about it

just in living expenses and trying to repay my debt, so I can't join a gym or

take a class. I can't afford it.

a few that teach dancing that I would LOVE to master, I have no where to

practise them. My house is a very small condo. It's good for shelter and that's

about it. Once you put furniture in it, there's really not much room left for

exercise.

yet to find a snowsuit to fit me, and winter up here can be bitter cold (the

lowest I've experienced was -45 degrees C) so it's not safe to exercise outside

without decent weather gear. I either need to find someplace to custom make it

to my measurements (pricey, and money is tight) or I need to lose a couple of

sizes to fit into the span of what manufacturers consider " normal " .

or for free. I thought of one; I take a different bus home from work now. It

drops me off a few blocks away instead of almost right at my door. I enjoy

walking the extra distance. Does anyone have any more ideas for me? Anything you

can come up with would be helpful.
