Dancing

Did you know dancing is exercise? Anyone who's aware of "Dancing With the Stars" knows they all say they loose a ton of weight because of the activity and it is so much harder than expected. But guess what? You don't have to be a ballroom guru to do it.

If you want to learn how to do choreographed moves, sign up for a class through the local parks and rec, four square, or studio. Or you can buy a DVD and learn in the privacy of your own home. Either way, there is some investment.

If free and unstructured is your thing, break out the CD player (or I guess MP3 player) and get your groove on in the living room! Kids love to dance too. Get them involved. Make it a game, musical chair style. Dance and wiggle as much as you can until the music stops, then FREEZE. Hold your pose. You move, you loose. Kids love competition:) After 20 minutes you have burned 100-200 calories! (Depending on your weight...check out the calorie calculator on the left.) With a smile on your face and a spring in your step, you are set for the day!
