Ok so sometimes when i get bored with my cardio workouts i decide to improvise and i do what i like to call my "dancing around my room like a damn fool" cardio workout basically it consists of me dancing like a damn fool in my room jumping up on my bed then down then up and me doing some rythmless moves all around the place sometimes i start doing jumping jacks other i do jabs and kicks. But most importantly i have fun! I absolutely love doing this and to my surprise several times i have managed to burn more calories doing this for an hour (according to my HRM) than an hour of Zumba! I was just curious to see if anybody else does something like this lol if you dont i would love music suggestions to add to my ipod!

I probably look something like this!

    I love to do that! I like to dance like an unabashed free-wheelin good-time girl. I am glad no one can see me! It does burn a lot of calories. And is easier to do than a DVD because it is so free flowing. I like Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and some modern beats too! Next time I am home alone I am going to dance for exercise!

    I do that too sometimes : ) Try some BeeGees (You Should Be Dancing), Donna Summer (Bad Girls), ELO (Don't Bring Me Down), Kenny Loggins (Footloose) plus any other disco (like KC & Sunshine Band, Disco Inferno). Enjoy!
