Sword Fighting

Okay so i have had these swords for years but never found someone to play with me. :oD I took them into training today. I knew it would be a great cardio workout but it turned out to be the BEST!

It was soooo much fun! We were laughing so hard. I doesn't help that we don't know what we are doing. This video was taped by her client from right before me. This was taken before we got MUCH better at it.
I kept my heart rate at a high level for the full 35min we fought. That combined with a few other things and I burned 1200+ calories in 1hr 10min.
Soo much fun. I found another friend to come "play" with me tonight for my cardio! So excited!
You should try it!!!

  I'm not sure which was more work - swinging the swords or laughing hysterically

  It looks like fun. Might have to go to the toy store and get some of those bad boys.
