Keep On Dancing Day 24

Our days so often feel like juggling acts. I read it all the time in women's blogs and know it to be true in my life and my friends' lives. I am always finding myself saying "I don't have time to dance for 30 minutes." Is that even true for myself? Probably not...but for all of you women out there with kids still at home...I think it is a reality. So I am trying to break it down. What happens if I break that 30 minutes of dancing around my kitchen into 3 ten minutes of dancing?

I danced 10 minutes this morning after feeding Lola...
mood before 5.5
mood after 6

Update

I danced 10 minutes this afternoon

mood before 6

mood after 6.5

Ten minutes goes by really fast when I'm dancing to a few good songs.

Update #2

I danced 10 minutes this evening

mood before 6.5

mood after 6.75

So what have I learned?

It's really easy to dance for 10 minutes.

My mood improves...but in smaller increments

I can dance harder for 10 minutes x 3 than in one 30 minute stretch.

Questions

Which way am I burning more calories?

Would my whole day be better if I got to 6.75 in the morning and stayed there all day?

Which way is best for building muscle?

Do any of you have any thoughts about this?

Tomorrow I am going to do two 15 minutes of dancing...
