In order
to get herself into shape, the instructor wishes to invite you
to a fun work out session so that she will be forced to
regularly exercise.
Let’s face it, for most of us, regularly exercise is difficult

Simple dance steps will get your heart rate up and cause
a lovely, glowing sheen (perspiration) and you’ll feel all the
better for it!
