Need Motivation? Dance like Granny

I love to dance around the house - it burns some extra calories, gives me a little pick me up, and makes my girls laugh and dance too. Which makes me laugh with joy; they are so cute when they dance. Well here is another cutie dancing around, and in a gym no less. Check out Ben Kweller's granny dancing her heart out and getting her heart rate up to his song Penny on the Train Track. She is adorable, inspirational and this 82 year old has got some moves.

Just click on the image and the video will play.

So what are you waiting for? Crank up some tunes and move it.
