I have no rhythm, which is why I can only teach Boot Camp and Spinning classes as they require no beat. At the same time, I’ve secretly longed to be a contestant on Dancing With the Stars. (yes, I want to dance the Salsa and Samba!)
So I was so excited when the Core Rhythms Dance Exercise Program showed up at my door! I was going to whittle my waist while learning how to do the Merengue!
Thankfully I did this in the privacy of my own home because it was not pretty. Even my 3 year old was giggling at the sight of me doing these moves. It was not because of a lack of instruction though. Dance champions Jaana Kunitz and Julia Powers are fantastic! They teach you the moves, they wow you with their sculpted (and tan) abs and they cheer you right along.
I just have NO rhythm. (remember the movie “The Jerk”? Yes, that is me!)
It doesn’t matter though because I still got a great workout that was a lot of fun! I was sweating up a storm and definitely felt the burn in my rhythm-less abs. The Core Rhythms Dance Exercise Program Starter pack comes with 4 DVDS and a 7-day diet guide with menu plans.
Want to win your own set? To enter the contest, leave a comment on this post telling me why you think you should win. Winner will be chosen at random on Friday, January 16th at 9pm EST. Contest is open to US addresses only. Absolutely no rhythm required. 
Now, it’s time to get up and get moving gang!
No excuses!

I would love to win these! It’s cold and flu season…which means if my kids are sick, I can’t drop them at the gym childcare
. These would be great to work out at home!
I am always looking for a fun new workout. This looks great! Please enter me.
Lol – I know I’m got rhythm but I’ve taken a hiphop class at the gym that made me know what it feels like to not be able to move with the music or the instructor! I have never been able to exercise at home – I’m strictly a gym rat, but with all these snow storms I must admit to thinking about trying to do some home workouts – this would probably be a great introduction.

I’ve always wanted to try something like this at they gym but was too afraid to embarrass myself in front of the class. This would be perfect since I could do it at home…and I think my 4 year old would laugh at me, too.

I have tried Zumba twice now and I really look silly trying to sway my hips! Maybe I could do this at home to help me learn to “dance” better!
I need a new work out DVD. Pick Me!
LolaFierces last blog post..Day Turn Around
I’m a SAHM to an active child w/disabilities (incl. autism). Hubs is in nursing school so I don’t get much time to myself. If I’m lucky, I can get to the gym 2 times a week. SOOO not enough to take off the 75+ pounds I’ve put on since my son was born. I used to love to dance and would totally love these! Pleeeeeez pick me!
Saw this and have wanted to try it since we ended our gym membership to save money. I have been looking for more things to do at home and this would be great!

I need to be faster but I decided to just be the laster
MizFits last blog post..What’s your PR?
I’ve been wanting to try these! I’d love to be entered to win.
With everything going on with my health lately, this would be just the pick-me-up I need.

I love Body Jam but it doesn’t always fit my schedule. This would be a great way to get up on snowy days!
This looks like so much fun. I would like to win because I need to add more variety to my in home workouts since I had to give up Turbo Kick classes and Turbo Jam due to knee issues. I also love Dancing with the Stars and it would be fun to learn some of their dance moves. Thanks for the chance to enter.
Angies last blog post..Checking In
What a fun way to exercise!!! It’s sooo much better than going to the gym every day and doing the same ol’ boring routine.
I need to win this because 1; I didn’t win the vita mix, and 2, my gym pass expired, and 3, I really need to find my abs again
hmmm…..I think I should win because there is far too much of this groove THang not to shake!
Annettes last blog post..Weigh In……..Thank you body!
i need to whip my post-baby abs back into shape and i’d love to learn some new dance moves while doing it!
I heard Zumba is a good salsa & mamba grooving aerobic workout. They have classes at most major gyms. The DVD’s are hilarious because their dubbed into English, which makes it even more fun =)
I love new and different things and would love this win this!!

I also was born without the rhythm gene. If I dance, it must be at home, with husband, children and dog safely ensconced upstairs, out of reach of my wildly flailing limbs and painful-to-watch attempts at dancing.
It is definitely not to be seen in public. And probably a public safety issue, as well.
Oh my gosh, this would be the most FUN (if you can keep a beat…hahah…my husband can’t either) workout ever! I love to dance whenever possible!!!
Oooh! This would be so fun to do. I need something new to motivate me, treadmilling in the basement has been lacking excitement lately. Plus my 4 year old who loves Dancing with the Stars would love working out with me!
I would love to win this. I am still working out with my favorite VHS tapes so please bring pick me and bring me up-to-date.
Niksmom, both of my kids have Autism. I was a SAHM until earlier this year (my kids are now 5 and 7, and I work part-time).
Where do you live? There may be services available to you, (like someone to watch your son while you get out for a bit).
I desperately want to win because I? Also have absolutely NO rhythm!
Trenches of Mommyhoods last blog post..Delurk!
My belly is the biggest place I need to lose weight, anything that could help me do that is HUGE!
Andrea – Red Knows Hows last blog post..Viva La Vacation – Here I come!
I am video fitness junkie who has been out of the loop for the past three years due to more time spent with my son who will be three at the end of this month. Help me get back into the exercise groove.
I should win because if I do you can come over and we can do it together
Kimberlys last blog post..Decide to Delurk
Alyssa, I’m in DE. We get lots of services b/c of my sons’s mutliple disabilities. Challenge is b/c of tube feeding and seizures, we need a *nurse* for respite. There’s a big shortage right now; we’re on a wait list. Email me at niksmother (at) gmail (dot)com if you have any info? Thx.
Niksmoms last blog post..Nikolas and the fabulous, wonderful, better-than-very-good day
Hmmm…i’ll just say, the kids would have a blast groovin’ & laughing at me
& I need some fun motivation to get back in shape!
I’ll be doing my first breast cancer walk this year and have to start training. It would be nice to have other things to do besides just walking to hold my interest.
Melanie @ Mel, A Dramatic Mommys last blog post..(Almost) Wordless Wednesday : The Kids at Sunset
I want to win because I am in desperate need of a workout – something that I can do in my own home!
Thanks for the giveaway.
i want to win so i can lose weight while shakin’ my groove thang.
ciaras last blog post..Who Do You Channel? Jackie or Marilyn?
I would love to win the videos. I am a homeschooling mom of seven children, with the oldest being nine. I don’t get an opportunity to go to the gym and I have yet to loose the extra weight from baby number seven, or the twins before her. The baby is almost four months old and I am ready to get back in shape. I am determined to regain my health and energy. It would be a great incentive to have a fun DVD set to motivate me to exercise.
