in Fitness and Exercise
Hi All,
I was just looking for other members who enjoy using dance workout routines. I have started using the Rockin Body dvd's by Shaun T in the morning, then doing Just Dance in the evening. Trying to switch things up from my normal stuff. I love these ones because it doesn't feel like a chore and I am a horrible dancer so these are helping in that area too. What dance routines do you enjoy?

    I use Turbo Jam. It's kickboxing/dancing. It's taking me a few weeks to get through it. I'm up to 30 minutes and it's 50 total. I got the 1 video from Amazon but I believe it's part of a series from beachbody.

    I have heard of that one! I hear it's pretty fun. 30 minutes of those dance routines are so hard! By the end of mine my legs, abs, and arms are so sore. Keep up the good work!

    I do zumba, sometimes on the DVDs other times I look up individual songs on YouTube and make my own Playlist. I have two play lists I use the majority of the time.

    I am looking for folks that do unconventional methods as well! I use my Wii like it is going out of style. I do EA Sports Active 2 and they set up your workout schedule 3 off 4 on. And its random so you don't plateau.

    On the off days or even the on days I mix Zumba 2 ,Zumba Core and Just Dance 3 or 4 with a dash of Black Eyed Peas Experience. So far 16lbs lost!

    I can't see spending extra funds in the gym. Everyone in my workplace is striving to do better however, I am on a personal mission to prove video games work if you put in on them

    I was a dancer my whole life until a nasty car accident. Now to get the weight back off, I'm focusing on dance as my cardio. I utilize Zumba (class & DVDs) & Beachbody programs - just started Cize, but there are others available to members On Demand. I also love Dance Central on my Xbox when friends are over. Love them all!!

    I am a Zumba fanatic! Before my second job I went to the classes three times a week for classes. Now I have a Wii U and do Zumba World Party at least once a day. I love it! I've also heard good things about the Turbo Jam from my sister, may have to try it.

    Omgeeeee! I love dance central but I don't have my Xbox any more. I am glad folks do use games as a form of exercise! My favorite song was Bad Romance

    I have Core and Zumba 2 I find the routines a little on the hard side. Any tips? And do you use the belt or have you rigged something together?

    I love intense sweat rolling down your face Zumba, hip hop dancing and step Zumba. Step Zumba is a mixed of stepping on a raised platform while dancing.

    Hooping! that's kind of dancing? Hooping to tunes with a good beat. OR just dancing around the living room like a spaz. sometimes husband will join me. :D Sometimes we go dancing at the club. There are lots of hooping instruction videos on youtube if you decide that would be fun for you.

    I like Jennifer Galardi's stuff. Somewhat easy footwork, but work up to more difficult routines. Different styles too (salsa, hip-hop, and ballet)

    This is one girl's playlist of all her favorite dance workout videos. Hiphop, abs-oriented, twerking, body rolls, etc. She has more on her channel that aren't in that playlist, as well. Have fun ;)
