Okay, i'm a nut :bigsmile: ....but i think one of the best and most fun ways to burn off the extra pounds is to dance!!
I love to put on music that makes you want to shake your butt and shake I it baby!!!
So, the first few times you might feel a bit silly jumping around the bedroom/ living room/ office like a maniac...but it will make you feel great and burn lots of calories.....well at least some depending on how mad a dancer you are:laugh:

From today onwards I'm gonna rock out for at least a few songs a day!

who's gonna join me?

Yes! I just started doing this a few days ago... so much fun! I do feel a little ridiculous, but it definitely gets my heart rate up and puts me in a good mood. Just need some songs with a catchy beat and a little bit of open space... totally recommend it!

Ha HA! I LOVE IT!!! I'll put on music while I clean house and shake it. Or while I cook... Chop the veggies - shake it to the steamer. Get milk out of the fridge, sashay over to the counter... I'm such a dork, but it keeps me moving, and I usually have two little people shaking it with me (they are 5 and 2, so they don't judge me...)

Good to know i'm not the only one madly dancing about the place! :happy: But seriously, all movement counts as exercise, and moves us in the right direction...towards fitness and good health!

Oh, and it does make cleaning so much more fun!!

*mop, mop...cha-cha-cha.....dust, vacuum....cha-cha-cha*

It really is no different than taking some sort of cardio dance class. That was something I wanted to look into, but really just can't afford classes or any memberships right now. So I figure if I just dance around the house, it's the same thing, just without the choreography, right? RIGHT! It's my new favorite. I have no moves or rhythm, but it's not like it matters

Yes I agree it's lots of fun!!! I usually do the Wii - Just Dance with my kids...I love it!! I'm getting a workout and spending time with my children at the same time

I love doing this, it's a great way to add on a half hour or so of cardio at the end of the day when it's too dark to go outside... and it's so much FUN!

I do this ALL THE TIME lol Especially at work. I'm on the night shift and I work alone.. so for like 8-10 hours I'm bouncing around the kitchen like a lunatic. hehe Seriously, if anyone seen me shaking and singing in my apron and oven mitts they'd send me to the loony bin :laugh:

BellaCoconut

We're quite a few mad dancers out there after all

I'm setting a bit of a dance *challenge*, see if I can all fit in a minimum of 15-20 mins of shakin in each day (in addition to other excercise)

My fave song to get on down to..."supestition" by Stevie Wonder! :happy:
