Lycra Dance Exercise

Encourage your kids to exercise at home

Let's face it; it's not just kids who are less active these days. There are many of us who, after a hard day of tapping on our keyboards, programming our iphones and gazing bewildered into flashing computer screens can manage barely anything more than a ready meal or a night on the couch; in front of yet another electronic device that stops us performing any mental or physical activity, as we slip off into a sedentary hypnosis.

In this hi-tech wireless age, it is becoming ever more apparent that our levels of mobility are decreasing. Therefore it's more important than ever, not only to set an example for the younger generations, but, for our own well being take control of our lives and realise that physical activity is a necessary and enjoyable part of life!

However, if the idea of leaving the house on a dark, cold winters night or a rainy, soggy spring day doesn't sound at all inviting then there could just be something else right up your street…

For an activity that the whole family can have fun doing together, without it feeling like some form of boot-camp-for-kids routine or worse, a smug personal trainer hovering over you in a close-fitting lycra ensemble making you feel about as fit as a sloth; hotfoot it to your nearest retailer and purchase one of the many new ‘active gaming' consoles now available, like the Xbox Kinect.

Lo and behold; a new way of having fun and raising the heart rate all at once! This nifty piece of kit gets you using your entire body to interact, jump, run, boogie and play a choice of games ranging from race driving and dancing to animal themed adventures, yoga, zumba and even Harry Potter! Active gaming is a brilliant way for anyone and everyone to find something they'll really enjoy, while getting a great workout. This kind of active gaming appeals to all sorts of people, brings friends and family together, is more tempting than a jog in the rain and gives kids a safe and fun outlet for their excess energy.

New technology is at last encouraging creative solutions to stop us all from becoming unhealthy victims of our own innovation. It's ‘exercise for the digital age' and love it or loathe it, it looks like it's here to stay.

Is it bad to be turned on by girls in tight clothes? I'm in a dance class this semester?

I'm a boy, I have to take this dance class this semester for phys ed. Its required for graduation credit (long story). Its the only class for gym that I can take because the other were filled. I am in class with a bunch of girls. So I am in there and there are these girls who wear lycra and spandex stuff (you know like what they wear in ballet classes or say like modern dance classes etc). Its seems that every time they wear it in the dance studio, I can't stop staring at them, they are all around me. I try to keep my distance when we do exercises, but I'm finding them very attractive. Is this a bad thing? Is it bad to be looking over at them occasionally while we dance? Should I do something about this? What advice do you guys have?
P.S.: I don't have a girlfriend

Uhh I would say that's totally normal, but don't let it show that you're turned on, if you know what I mean....and don't sit there staring at them obviously. Because then they will be creeped out. My advice would be to go out with one of the girls if you like her personality as well as her looks

A helpful “Myths” page at the end of each chapter debunks many of the misunderstandings and rumors about fitness that have circulated over the years.
