i b een on mfp almost 100 days and never excerised. I dont like workout machines i have back problems and am afraid to walk to far because it may be diffucult to walk back home. So i been thinking when i listen to music i still move my arms tap my feet. so i decided everyday im going to put on the ipod to my favorite dance songs and like billy idol says... dancing with myself.. I did it today by the way thats a great song to move to. moving is moving right? just wish i had thought of this earlier. Maybe ill help someone else who like me dont like ..excersise....

I am slightly obsessed with dancing whether out in public, by myself, in my car or at a group workout lesson. I love this idea AND would love to share with you my favorite video of a woman dancing by herself! If anything youll get a good laugh and some sweet new dance moves to use during your day to day dance party!

Dancing is a good way to get some calories burning! Crank up the tunes while you do house work:)

You can burn a lot of cals dancing and it is an incredibly fun way to do it! Go for it!

that's the first exercise I started doing when I joined MFP. I still do it!!! It's free!!! The kids can do it with me!!!! And you are right, moving is moving, and moving is burning calories!!! Way to go and find exercise you enjoy! Since you like it, you are more likely to stick with it.

Check with your doctor first, but hula hooping is a great cardio workout for people with back problems. My mother is 77 with spinal stenosis and osteoarthritis and she is able to hoop. You will need a weighted fitness hoop (available at Wal-mart for around $20 in the sporting goods section).

I ♥ to dance too! I went to a "show" (4 bands) on Friday night and danced like a maniac. Lots of jumping around - was a big ol sweaty mess when I left. I wish I would have worn my HRM, because the calorie burn from MFP's calculator didn't seem accurate at all.

it is fun, you can log it as dancing, general. i'm not much for heavy workouts, i do some yoga here and there and jog with my dog. i do enjoy going out dancing or dancing around in my apt. i recently found my skip it from 1988 and that is pretty awesome workout too

Dancing is a great way to workout!!

I occasionally go salsa dancing. Last time i wore my HRM and burnt over 1000 cals in 2 hours!

I do the Wii Just Dance and count it as low impact aerobic because I sweat doing that more than when I run!!!
