    I take a dance class on Fridays and using my heart monitor, I but about 450-500 calories in an hour. Not as high as my biking or kickboxing, but still a decent amount of sweating going on. Don't know if that helps or not.

    I love to sing and dance! Maybe I should start doing that all over the place. Then I could see whose nerves I get on!! LOL:bigsmile:

    I've been using the Dancing with the Stars Latin Dance DVD and I love it. I'm sore the next day from it. And I get a good sweat. Doing the whole DVD-which is an hour-I burn a little over 400 calories.
