When walking to lose weight needs some extra spice in it to keep the interest and enjoyment alive you could try aerobic dancing (which burns approximately 500 calories an hour) and doesn’t require much more than walking to lose weight when starting out.
I’ve written about Nintendo Wii’s Just Dance! previously and it’s great for fun and burning calories but the truth is that just as with walking, to get started on an aerobic dancing exercise program nothing much is needed.
First requirement is somewhere to dance. This is simply space enough to move and wave your arms, in front of the bedroom mirror is a popular option.
Second requirement is great music. A good beat is important but it can range from drumming to disco.
Just as when walking for weight loss exercise, the right attitude is important. Start with ten minutes and see how your body feels the next day. Add more as your body can take it.
Walking to lose weight is fantastic for the lower body mainly the legs. Moving your arms in a natural swing keeps the joints flexible. Add weights and the arm muscles get a workout.
What walking to lose weight cannot do normally is use those abdominals.
This is where dancing to lose weight can shine!
Use Latin style dance movements, hula or twists to trim this area of your body.
Latin dancers, male and female, have the most beautiful bodies.
