Hello fellow MFPers. I am one of the many fans of Zumba...that crazy, high energy dance cardio workout that is touted to burn up to 1000 cals in just one 60 minute class. Does that sound too good to be true?
Well, tonight I thought i would try a different dance routine. Just Dance 2014 on the PS3 in workout mode. First I did a 40 minute workout, then a 20 minute workout (there is no 60 minute option, oddly enough). New battery in my trusty heart rate monitor. Ready, set...go!
One hour later and.....793 Calories burned! For playing a dance game...whaaaat!!!
Proof that you CAN have fun while working out.
