After our run today, my dog Westminster talked me into going by the pet store, where the staff was discussing “belly fat.” They asked me how I kept a flat tummy. I said, “one word: ‘cardio.'” Chubby guy said he “hates cardio.” I asked if he likes to boogie? He nodded. I said, “then put on your dancing shoes, dude!” I’m not suggesting he take off his shirt and make like the chubby belly brothers dance. But for a real routine he might try the Belly Dance Workout. As Vina and Nina explain, belly dancing is “the best workout for people with a hectic schedule!” In fact, they say, “the belly dance workout raises your heart rate to the optimum level for burning fat and you will enjoy the effort!” Seeing is believing. Let me know how it shakes out…I’ll be running in Riverside Park.
