Most of us know how important exercise is, but I was surprised to read only about 20% of adults meet the minimum recommended weekly levels: 2.5 hours of activity at a moderate intensity (such as walking) or 75 minutes at a high intensity (running or dancing ). The health benefits are wonderful of course, but my favorite part of being a regular exerciser is getting to eat more food! According to this graphic - 400 calories extra per day. Yep, I'll take it! #holidaypass

Here are just a few reasons. I am primarily motivated by #1 and #5. I have to keep up with a 5 year old boy after all! I also love the social element of dance fitness. I have met some really wonderful people through Cooper, JamZone and Dallas Dance Fitness. I look forward to seeing them and jamming with them every week! Love it! #holidaypass
