admire — and maybe hate just a teensy little bit — people who run every morning at 5 a.m. or who regularly lift weights. I envy as well those who practice yoga and/or other more solitary pursuits such as meditation. I am not one of those people. It’s not that I haven’t tried running — after six months, my knees shout “NO!” — or yoga in my living room. It’s just that I am a group exercise person. My ability to sustain solitary exercise lasts maybe five days, max. I need that person in the front of the room telling me it’s time to do a Down Dog pose or to move to the left. My ideal exercise also involves music. Over the years — and depending on the fad — I’ve done jazzercise, Zumba and just about every variation of cardio dance invented. Today, my dance and exercise preference is Nia, something I describe as a sort of dance yoga. As we hit the winter doldrums, exercise can keep our spirits up and our bodies in good shape. Here’s hoping you find something that gets your hearts — and spirits — racing. HL
