Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

My friend emailed me this video. The subject of the video was, “So U Think U Can Dance?” and her comment was, “One word… hottie!” I think she was being sarcastic. I clicked on the video and this is what I saw: a half naked man dancing in front of the camera. You can see it here:

Unlike most people, I didn’t laugh and turn it off ten seconds into it. I watched through the whole thing and you know what I realized,

Damn, that guy’s a pretty good dancer!

I’m not being sarcastic. He dances pretty well.

The longer I watched, the less I noticed his doughy body and the more attractive he became. What was cringe-worthy at the beginning of the video became an impressive array of booty-shaking.

Let me tell you, ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!

When was the last time I was confident enough to dance in front of a mirror, much less a CAMERA?! This guy has cajones and he’s not afraid to show them!

Next time you’re feeling self conscious about the way you look, remember this guy. Hold yourself up straight, put on that attitude that you are the most beautiful one in the room and you’ll look one hundred times better than if you slink in and hope no one notices.
