Definitely A Pleasant Surprise...

I've been hearing and reading everywhere that even the smallest type of physical activity is beneficial to your weight loss, common sense of course.
So recently I read in a fitness magazine that a good idea to keep active is to dance a bit around in your living room to your favorite music, among other odd but fun ideas.
I've lost three pounds in 2 weeks after i started dancing around while no one else was home, without changing any sort of eating habits or medications or anything. So i looked up how many calories low impact dancing for an hour burnt (i never really considered it to my exercise log...) and to my surprise, it burns almost 350 calories! i barely broke a sweat!
Despite how odd this is, dancing alone in your house with the music booming, is now my all time favorite way to blast calories. Its so much fun and it lets me forget about how i look, because no one else is watching, unlike a crowded gym.
i definitely recommend to all to at least try it. It feels a bit weird at first, but a few minutes in and you'll forget about odd you may feel
