Workout Bust: Instructional Bellydance with Jillina

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm on crutches. But since belly dance is mostly about abdominal movements, I thought I might be able to learn it lying down. It would be like a Beyonce video or something. Well, Shakira and Beyonce notwithstanding, I was wrong, at least about Instructional Bellydance with Jillina.



First, I'd give the video a bad review even if I were able to dance on my feet. She basically just shows you some moves and says, "so that's how you do that. Next..." If I was really just wondering how to belly dance, this might be enough, but come on lady! I'm looking for some exercise!

On the floor, it's even less satisfying. Since you've got this floor behind you, it's really hard to make your hips move in various directions. You'd have to do some uncomfortable arching. Anyway, I'm not ruling out the possibility that it can be done, but I'm ruling it out for me.
