Is anyone else here also using dancing as a form of exercise? I love dancing, mostly line dances, any recommendations of what I can add to my playlist?
I usually do:
Copperhead Road
The Electric Slide
Wobble
Just Fine (go hard or go home)

Im doing Zumba on the Wii and also at the Gym, I like the fact it makes me feel great. I have lost a lot of my weight with that and also logging my foods. It made me more aware of what I was actually eating. That was and still is my hardest part of actually getting fit and back in to a healthy lifestyle. Good Luck!! :bigsmile:0

I LOVE dancing! It's a great workout. I use Dance Dance Revolution, I take belly dance lessons, and will dance whenever there's music to dance to!0

I LOVE to dance!!!!! I dance in the kitchen by myself, with my daughters, anyone who will dance with me! I LOVE IT!! I love to dance to Katy Perry, LMFAO, Lady Gaga, etc. so that I can move my body. I am only at 9 lbs lost but that's only since January 9.. so I am good with that!!0

Dancing is such a great way to exercise!! I've been belly dancing for four years, and I LOVE it. I highly recommend it to any lady looking to get some fun movement in her life. Not only will you sweat while dancing, the movements are sultry and empowering, and you just feel plain great when you're done. It's a beautiful art that happens to double as exercise. As far as calorie burn, as with anything, it depends on how much you put into it. Just dancing alone won't shed the pounds, but it combined with watching your calorie intake can lead to great results. I also love DDR and Just Dance for the Wii. They really are a great workout. I hear line dancing is a good one, too. Anything that you enjoy doing that also burns calories is good in my book. So glad to hear that other people are dancing, no matter what kind. I've never found something that makes sweating as much fun as dancing. Good luck to you and keep dancing. It's good for body, mind, and spirit. :flowerforyou:0

It's not really dancing, but I do ballet conditioning/barre workouts. I've been seeing some good results so far, and the best part is that I actually look forward to working out! It's so much fun!0

I use dance for a cardio workout, either the just dance games or freeform with some music. Any continuous body movement that elevates your heart rate is cardio, so your imagination is the only limit. That's the best part about dancing.0

I love dancing - such fun it hardly counts as exercise.0

I love Zumba! You don't really feel like you are exercising. Another good thing I have found is pull up Zumba on itunes and you will get tons of videos with different songs. I pick a new song every day and just shake my booty0

I'm trying to go out dancing at least every other week. Depending on what you're into and where you live there are probably places to try salsa, tango, blues, swing, country line dancing, etc etc etc. It's a great, fun, social activity and is also awesome for burning calories (you don't realize how long you've been moving!). I play Just Dance on the wii too, and also do the Dancing with the Stars fitness DVD's, but the real deal is so much more fun!0
