    i probably burn 1000 because i love to dance and once i get on the dance floor i don't stop. i'm ringin wet with sweat by the time i go home. all my friends have these cute pictures from going out... i'm a mess, wild hair, sweat dripping down, make-up ran off lol. it's a good thing my husband gets to see what i look like before we get there! lol

    im not sure but it would be interesting to find out im sure someone will be a long in a minute to tell us!

    what i do know is 5 years ago while i was single and out clubbing and dancing 2 or 3 nights a week i could eat and drink whatever i liked and not put on an ounce! Now i only have to look at a cream cake and ive gone up a dress size!

    wonder if my partner will let me start going again... although im not sure i have the stamina for late nights anymore ( i sound ancient...im only 34 :frown: ...)

    this probably isn't the best way to track it, but i don't want to count it as exercise because i'm just doing something normal for me. i just say if i want to have a couple drinks while i'm out, it's a wash. i burn it all off more than likely anyways.

    i'm sure a lot of people are going to tell me this isn't a good idea though, lol. i'm ready for the darts to be fired at me!!!

    The site says, if you weigh 200 lbs, 30 minutes of fast dancing... you will burn approximately 252 calories. You can enter in your own weight and how long, what kind of dancing, etc. to get a better estimate.
