Dancing Your Fat Away

Dancing Your Fat Away : How to Lose The Pounds by Dancing

Lose the pounds just by adding dancing to your life. It will require some careful food monitoring, picking your moves carefully, music selection, managing your time, and planning a dance routine. It's important to remember that everyone's body is different, so you might lose weight slightly faster or slightly slower than someone else. Your weight loss will depend on how much weight you have to lose. People with a higher body mass index or BMI are more likely to lose closer to 2-3 pounds a week whereas a person with a lower BMI or of older age may only lose 1-1.5 pounds a week. 

Watch your calories

It's important to avoid increasing your caloric intake when you start your dancing.If you add more calories, you'll either maintain or gain weight. You can count calories or you can just make a log of exactly what you are eating and then replicate it in the weeks following. You can also focus on food groups to track your calories.

Let's Dance

Lose weight by dancing, at least 20 minutes of time with an accelerated heart-rate at least 5 days a week. You should start with a 5 minute warm-up and end with a 5 minute cool-down which means 30 minutes, 5 times a week. 

Calorie Burning Dance Moves

The key to burning calories is to move your whole body. The best dance moves include the old standby move of a step with one foot and then bringing the other foot next to the first one and then going the opposite way. Then add arm movements that go at least up to the shoulders and your heart will start pumping. You can also jog around the room. You'll be surprised how tired you get if you have your legs shoulder width apart and you just twist and alternate bending each leg with your arms doing rotational movement at your chest level. If you mix in leg lifts and knee lifts bringing your opposite elbow to the knee, you will be working your legs and abs. 

Music Selection

Pick music you love that makes you feel happy.
