What should you do? Squeeze your out of shape body into some tights and start taking ballet classes right now!! You'll be surprised how much weight you'll lose in just the first month or so. I to was out of shape and about 60 pounds overweight when I started taking ballet lessons. Now its two years later and I've lost the extra 60 pounds and I feel better, I have more energy and more flexiblity and I'm in the best shape of my life, all thanks to ballet!!
