Dancing

Has anyone tryed dancing for at lease an hour someone told me you can lose the weight but i'm curious can you really?

Yes I burn 600 cals (or more) per hour by dancing! It's great exercise and a lot of fun!!

It worked for me. In fact, in my weight loss journy, it has been the most effective for me!

DDR (dance dance revolution) really helps :)

they even have a work out mode and tells you how many calories you've burned with your stats that you input!

I used to dance in my room when people where in the area where I worked out - it wouldn't be an hour, but it helped - and like ornellanicole said DDR is amazing game :)

I dance around for purposes of being silly, but the more weight I lose the more functionable my knee becomes and I find myself turning on a CD and dancing for about half an hour as my warm-up. 

Or at least I consider it dancing.  Others might still see it as solo moshing or even omg-is-she-having-a-seizure.

Yeah, I figure if skipping rope works, why not just lose the rope and jump up and down in some sort of rhythmic pattern ... and incorporate other body parts ... to music.  I'm a TERRIBLE dancer so doing it for exercise makes me feel a little more comfortable when I go out to a bar/club.

thnx you guys that is one exercise I will enjoy to do

It depends on the type of dancing you do.

Hip Hop is very intense cardio and will burn 600-700 calories an hour for most people...when you've done an hour you're dripping in sweat.

Ballet is probably less...any ballet dancers can probably tell you more. 

Ballroom is more sedate and doesn't burn as many but it's a ton of fun.

A dance class where you're watching instead of doing most of the time will be closer to standing.

wow don't see my self I a ballet dancer hahaha I usually just dance in my room when the kids are doing there homework or watching tv from hip hop to dance music even salsa or merengue I do sweat so I think i'm doing well 4 myself I may take a cardio class because me doing the tapes at home just don't work for me I get bored at lease with a group of people you get more modivated.
