    I love Just Dance! I usually log it as dancing general unless I feel like I worked harder. In that case I would choose dancing aerobic. Sometimes I mainly do the harder songs, so I would choose that option.

    I play Just Dance with my kids. I record it as Dance-aerobic. I make sure to really get moving, though. With the Wii you can really get lazy and just move the one arm holding the remote, which does no good :wink:

    It's not my only form of exercise, but a good activity for a couple of days a week (I can't lift every day!), and fun with the kids.

    I have it, 4 and 5 I think. I had bought it for my daughter but, she hasn't been using it. You just made me thing I should use it. It probably is a good calorie burn. Was sort of getting bored with the Zumba one I have.

    We discovered it the same way! My wife loves it.

    As for the embarrassed to go to the gym thing, I think a lot of us have been there. When I started on this go round about 3 years ago, I refused to go to a gym because I was embarrassed. I started with walking and bodyweight exercises until I mustered the courage to go.

    I'm not saying you have to go to the gym but I just about guarantee that in a regular gym people will be silently cheering you on. Sometimes not so silently.

    This is true. You have to understand that a lot of the people you think are intimidating have been where you are. I'd also prioritize your fitness in your budget but that takes time to do.

    I also log it as "Dancing, general".

    Love Just Dance! Such a fun way to burn calories. :)
