it goes electric wavy when I turn it on

On Sunday, my Apple watch informed me that Monday 29th would be International Day of Dance, and there was an exercise challenge to do a 20 min (or more) Dance workout. Well. I was going to my Monday class anyway, and the first 35-40 minutes of it is choreographed light cardio stuff, so I downloaded the Dance option onto my list of possible exercises. I was charmed to find that the little exercise icon in the corner of the screen became a stick figure dancing Saturday Night Fever style (because I am old enough to recognise it). And I did my 35-40 minutes of Dance, then switched to a different exercise for the weights and abs part of the class.

It was a lot more fun doing the exercise thinking of it as dancing rather than exercise. I don't know if I used any more calories, but there was more bounce (I don't bounce much, because arthritis, but there was more than usual) and shoulder-wriggling and just, somehow, more fun. Ah, the power of suggestion.


PS I had not previously realised, but Timberlake's Can't stop the feeling is, of course, another stalker song. Who would have guessed.
