This is my how-to Flail Blog
My doctor asked me a couple of years ago if I was exercising on a regular basis.
“Oh, a few times a day I’ll get down on the floor and flail around, or flail around to disco music in my living room,” I said.
The doctor and her nurse laughed and laughed. But I was in the thick of bloated, hormonal, peri-menopausal insanity. Flailing was all I could manage.
Guy, I’m glad I’m over all that. But I still flail. It’s one of midlife’s best tricks. Here’s all you need to know:
1. Flailing is an ever-changing choreography of moving your body around in a spontaneous and interesting-to-you manner.
2. The purpose of flailing is to trick yourself into maybe burning calories, building your strength, and feeling better.
3. Flailing is your personalized version of the Hokey-Pokey; Put your right brain in, put your fanny out, put your _________ in, and you shake flail it all about.
4. It will only work if you like your chosen method of flailing.
So, feel the inspiration as I deliver a brief explanation for the Beauties at The Art of Aging FB Page, and demonstrate a few flail techniques. Please feel free to share yours.

I love it the video and the comments on just so you are doing something! I have been struggling with weight watchers since Jan 2010 I power walk at least 4 times a week and ride bike twice. I have not lost much weight very upsetting but I do feel better. Thanks for the encouragement just so we do something. Thats how I will look at it this week and maybe lose a pound or to. Have a great week end.
Hi Jackie-I’m so glad you like the video and received encouragement from it. I know what it’s like to feel as if nothing is happening but Don’t Give Up! I wrote White Rose as a way to help women feed their own inner beauty so they can make the changes they want. Thank you and let me know how you are doing…and keep flailing around
