After having a few babies, most women reach a point where they look in the mirror and realize that they’d like to lose a few pounds. That’s exactly what happened to me. I started slowly, doing dance and hip-hop videos I had found online. After a few months, I really started to see results and was hooked on exercise. The problem was that I didn't really have a specific space to dance. If the weather was nice, I would take my computer out to the patio and do videos there. But if it was raining, I would be stuck moving living room furniture in order to do my aerobics. As my birthday approached, my husband suggested the perfect present: converting the basement into a dance studio, complete with a custom mirror!
The basement was
partially finished, but we were using that area as storage space. The first step was to clean out all the junk
we had stored down there. Next, my
husband put in a wood floor and called his electrician friend to run wiring throughout
the room. He slapped on a fresh coat of
paint and mounted a TV to the wall. Finally, he called professionals to install
the custom mirror. They came to take measurements of the wall,
taking into account that they would need specialized cutouts for the electric
outlets and mounted TV. They came back a
few days later and attached the mirror so easily.
I absolutely love my
new dance studio. Now I exercise in
comfort no matter what the weather. The
custom mirror is such a huge help, too – now I can check out my moves and see
if they match the professional dancers on the videos. I have perfected my routines and am currently
thinking about filming my own video, if I can work up the courage!
