Let me get this straight...

The last few days/weeks have kind of given me some insight on why I am so irate. I think I just need to exercise. Years ago, when I took dance classes 6 days a week and practiced another 2-5 hours for a dance team 3 times a week on top of that, I was less irritable, and was better at managing my temper. Now that I’ve gone a few years without any form of regular exercise, I’ve noticed that my mood and temper are noticeably more volatile. I need a physical outlet so I don’t have to fight the urge to punch things when I’m livid, like I was on Monday.

The thing is, I hate boring, repetitive, non-expressive forms of exercise. I’ve tried muy-thai, aerobics, zumba, all that shit. None of it does it for me the way taking dance class used to. But, and this might sound silly, I’m hesitant to re-enter the dance community in SD because it’s so close knit, and many of the people I used to dance with are now teaching classes. Honestly, I’m kind of shy. I’d probably have to start off at an intermediate class rather than advanced because even though I’m positive I could follow the routines in my head, I’m pretty sure that my body is no longer capable of keeping up physically. Which makes me feel like a sad, old lady. lol. I don’t know, I guess I’ll continue my search for the right form of working out. I guess I didn’t hate kick-boxing, yoga or pilates. But those kinds of classes are extremely expensive around my area.

Anyone have any suggestions? Are there good youtube video series that walk you through a decent routine?
