I wanted to see how many calories were burned by dancing, as i was out last night. Me and my friends really get into dancing when we've had a few drinks, mostly joking around pulling out all the 'saucy' moves lol. I erred on the side of caution and put 90 minutes although altogether it was probably nearer 3 hours lol!! Definately worked up a sweat!
So basically......can i log this and use it??

I say go for it
It's definitely exercise, and you wouldn't normally do it day to day.

I log anything I don't do on a normal day, like rake the lawn or mow the grass...Sweeping and housecleaning is part of my basic activity level, so I don't log that like some people do. Dancing is an awesome form of exercise! That's why Zumba is so hot right now! Have fun!

Thanks.
I just worried it was a bit like cheating because it shows that i burned so many calories, but i dont feel like i was 'working out' Lol.

When I do dance class once a week I wear my HRM and log it but not when I go pubbing. I think its kinda pointless as I'm surely counteracting the dancing with the alcohol/soft drinks! Just relax and enjoy your night instead of counting calories.
