Hey White Widow, belly dancing thing sounds cool, i would just be to shy to do it with others. We bought a Bowflex about a year ago and i started using it every night, i am sure this will take its place. My hubby uses it a whole lot more than me, i am just not interested in getting buff, like a dude. I hope i dont do the stoner thing!! But hubby and i motivate eachother. I meals are hard causei am not much for veggies. I watched that informecial so many times i got brainwashed, but we will see. The work out was hard as hell and i love a challange, i find that when i work out high, its better for me....lol I am an enhancment smoker...lol and i took the day off today...i was STONED!!! still smoking, still am!! teehee...
