Belly dancing especially helps you to tone muscles, and get over body image issues.

Dancing To Lose Weight
anonymous
2006-09-05 12:05:20 UTC
It was my understanding that Chubby Checkers lost forty pounds doing the twist. But there is an Italian Dance called the "Tarantella". Interestingly enough, the dance was originated to make the dancer sweat out the poison after a bite by a Tarantula spider". Guaranteed to lose weight also. Then there are Polkas and Reels to consider, But you must remember that diet has a lot to eat and your bodily metabolism.



Once thing you must do if you want to lose weight: Just remember that there is no bread in the world and your pounds will fall off. It worked for Sid Cesar and it will work for you. Stay away from French Fries also.



Remember if it is good, it is either fattening or illegal. At least that's what they say.



Good Luck Young Lady

Dancing can be great exercise, but you're only going to lose weight if you burn more calories than you ingest. So the dancing has to get your heart rate up to a certain level and you need to keep your heart rate up for a certain amount of time in order to be burning calories. Usually this is 30 minutes or so constant exercise. And should be done at least 3-4 times a week if not every day. You have to cut out chips and soda and extras like that, eat appropriately-sized portions of nutritious food at least 3 times a day. I also suggest strongly that you talk to your parents or doctor for what kind and levels of exercise would be appropriate for your body and if you *need* to lose weight.

Hi! I think that dancing helps you lose weight, but you also need a diet. Eating healthy food, vegetables and fruit is a good and sure method to lose weight. But you must always eat something daily Do not starve yourself! It's very dangerous! You could get a heart diseases and you could also die!..Stay away from junk food like pizza, hamburgers and snacks. Also stay away from sodas. Drink natural juices or water. Now about dancing :P Well, I tried belly-dancing and it worked. Don't laugh ;) It works the mussels! I am very happy with the results :)

In order to loose weight you should do the following:



Evaluate Your Body Weight

Learn to manage your weight by:

Make healthy food choices

Increase your physical acitivity



Dansing is a physical activitiy so I would defininitly think that it could help you loose weight.



If dancing is what you like, go to your local gym and join a dancersize class. It's fun

Rather than do the type of dancing that will cause you to lose the most weight, choose something that you will like. Then take lessons. Just about any regular exercise will help you lose weight.

Any kind of dancing will help get your body in shape...sometimes by losing weight and sometimes by gaining muscle. But seriously sweetie, everyone at 13 has weight issues. Don't worry about it!! Just worry about being happy and healthy and having a good time with your friends!! :)

How to lose weight quick is a question that just about everyone asks at one time or another in their lives. Whether it's for a summer on the beach or for your 10 year High School reunion, sometimes we just need to lose weight fast. Check out the rest of this article to find out how to lose weight quick.



Tip 1



Get some sleep. Although sometimes sleeping does feel like the ultimate in relaxation in lethargy, your body needs a certain amount of sleep every 24 hour cycle to continue working efficiently. Staying up longer may seem like a good way how to lose weight quick, but actually the opposite is true - you burn calories while you sleep too, and it's much higher than you think - an average sized person can expect to burn 50+ calories per hour while sleeping!



Tip 2



Understand that your body has limits - it's easy to say "How to lose weight quick? I know! I'm going running for 2 hours every morning starting tomorrow!" While the intention is good, the fact of the matter is that unless your body is accustomed to a certain amount of exercise, if you go at it to hard right at the start, you're just going to hurt yourself - and guess what? If you sprain your ankle or pop a ligament, you practically guarantee you won't be losing that 10lbs quickly, because you won't be exercising at all for the next few weeks!



Tip 3



Understand the balance. When people ask how to lose weight quick, what they are really saying is that they want to lose FAT. You see, muscle weighs far more than fat, and is the first thing the body starts to break down when you starve yourself for some fad diet, so if you try to lose weight without exercise, your body is just eating it's own muscles. Gross huh? Not only that, but it makes it far harder for you to lose weight in future, as there is less muscle mass left to burn calories with.



Tip 4



Out-think your body when it comes to your diet. If you can break your bad eating habits and get into the habit of some gentle exercise, you'll find out how to lose weight quick-you can seriously drop a huge amount of body fat and weight in a real short space of time. Try drinking water instead of sodas for example, and replace some meals with just a salad. Next time you are hungry between meals, snack on fruit, not chocolate. Small changes like this can make huge differences for you next time you step on the scales, but only if you can train your brain to think before you eat.

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.



The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.



Get started today!

There are three main ways to lose weight quickly.



1) Use only water as liquid and eliminate all other liquid drinks from your diet. You must drink as much water as possible every day. You must drink about half of your weight. If you have weight of 200 pounds then you must drink about 100 oz of water.



2) The interval between the eating is very important. If you eat once, then you must eat next after 4 hours. You must take breakfast regularly. In the night eat your food three hours before going to bed.



3) Walking is very good. You must walk as much as you can. Walk everywhere you can. Use of elevators and escalators must be reduced and instead of these you must climb stairs more often.



These are some of the fastest ways to lose weight. By just following the simple steps, you can lose your weight very quickly. You must consult your doctor if want to change your diet or exercise routine.

Hey there, sure dancing will help you lose weight! In fact i'm thinking of joining a dance class here and doing hip hop dance. I've been told though that belly dancing of all dancing is supposed to be the best workout, though I don't know why! Do what you want to do and have fun with it, and remember it won't all come off right away. Good luck!! =)

any physical movement will help you lose weight, dancing is a ton of fun too, i did ballroom dancing for a year to get the hang of dancing at balls and stuff. Lot of fun in my opinion. If you like hip hop dance you can do that too. Anyway dancing will help you lose some weight, over time. If you want to lose weight faster your going to need to do more demanding exercises.

cardio exercise and eating breakfast fruits, whole grain cereals and egg-white are great options help boost metabolism which help lose weight faster & burn more calories so eat egg in every morning omelet or boiled etc..to get protein which important for your body for losing weight stay way from junk food, fries

Do 30 minutes of cardio training [dancing, jogging, aerobics, yoga , running, bicycle, swimming, kick boxing ... ] and 30 minutes of strength train [weights, arms, setup, crunches for abs, legs workout and stretches]workout 3-6 times on week. 30min or 1-2 hours

well first off let me start by saying there are many more ways to lose weight than dancing. But to answer your question any kind of dancing other than slow dancing should help you lose weight.However your not going to be knocking off alot of pounds just dancing youll have to diet also,and even though dancing is a form of exercising youll have to do more than just dancing to really notice the pounds going away.

Yes, i lost 80 lbs. I used dance meditation. but any kind might work. You just have to do it maybe 2 hours a day. Also take yoga. Partly how it works is not just by using calories but also by changing how you feel about yourself and your body.

Dancing is a great form of exercise. Tmain thing is to keep it constant to keep your heart rate up. In other words, no slow dancing. The more movement the better. Faster upbeat songs are the best to really get going. Pick music you REALLY like so you won't get bored. One of the great side effects other than weight loss is that you may become a really good dancer. Good Luck!

Anything that leaves you out of breathe, involves muscle movement and has the potential to make you sweat is exercise



Dancing is a fantastic source of exercise, but you must do it regularly, for at least half an hour and you must drink lots and lots of water (most people forget to because they're enjoying themselves too much)



If you're still not sure, look up pictures of the UK's rave scene of the early nineties...you won't find a single overweight dancer. They danced and danced from dusk til dawn and everybody on the scene became incredibly thin because of it.
