She Bangs She Bangs.....and she falls off the treadmill

My new thing lately has been trying to exercise more. I have been doing really good, getting up at 5:30 each morning and walking on the treadmill and doing sit-ups. Not quite ready for turbo class at the Y yet but getting there. My husband and I are planning a trip to Jamaica sometime in the next millenium and I want to look presentable in a swimsuit....fast forward to my topic.

So I have been searching high and low for songs that can get my sleepy ass moving at 5:30 in the morning. My current favorite is Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" The one that was butchered on American Idol by the chinese guy, who then released it himself with a video....horrible. I prefer the original version. So when this song hits the ipod it gets me movin and groovin! So much groovin, in fact I fell off the treadmill! Picture it now.....I am walking along walking along and then my song comes on and I start struttin my stuff on the treadmill. I start waving my arms and doing some salsa steps and the next thing you know....whoosh off the back and slam into the wall. Even though there was no one around to see it, I still had to look to make sure. Thankfully I didn't get hurt, or that would put a stop to the dumb treadmill for sure! Maybe next time I better pause for a few minutes and just dance on the floor! She Bangs She Bangs...Oh Baby and she moves she moves.... Just a heads up for you treadmill dancers out there, you need to be careful!
(side note....holy crap!!! My exclamation point works again. I don't believe it. See previous entry no emotion to get the whole story. I have missed you exclamation point! WoW!! I feel so alive again!)

Ah ha ha ha ha!!! And I can laugh a lot because I have done this exact same thing, and I have a scar to prove it. I landed in a heap at the end of my treadmill with the track sanding off some skin right near my elbow. We are dancin fools, Lisa Lisa, and this tendency, apparently is hazardous on treadmills.
