    "Unleash your inner thin?" Did John Bender from 'The Breakfast Club' write that?


    Just pop in some Janet Jackson/Paula Abdul/Madonna/Jody Watley and you are good to go with losing some weight, TRUST. I dance around to them almost every day in my apartment and you'd be amazed at how much cardio you get from just jumping around the house doing the "Rhythm Nation" dance verbatim.

    @thequeenofstartingover: I've been asking this on Jezzie for nearly a year. Who is willing to teach me the Rhythm Nation dance verbatim?
    I will pay someone money, for serious.


    I never have my arms going in the right direction - the dancers are doing that back-to-forward full arm thing while I'm still trying to do the small side-to-side isolation - and when it gets to the part where the solo dancer does the multiple pirouettes in passe and then goes right down to the split, I would really like to know if there's a safe way to do that if one hasn't attended daily class in *ahem* some time.

    Why can't fat people dance just to dance/have fun/compete? Must fat people multi-task everything with weightloss?

    Weight loss is easy!

    I hate dancing. There. I said it. I am THE WORST DANCER. I won't even do it when drunk. I'm too lanky, so I'm more likely to just trip on myself.

    I also feel like I look like a fish trying to dance, or something.

    I've never been motivated by a weight loss show. I've just always sat back and thought, well, it must be nice to have several personal trainers, catered food and 24-hour access to a gym.

    thanx a lot Dodai. now i am sitting here remebering all of the dances from the 80's and trying to make them into headlines similar to this.


    Do the Wop, wear a smaller top.


    Do the Electric Slide, have thinner thighs


    do the lawnmower, wear shorts that are shorter.


    My day is now ruined.

    I'm a little embarassed to admit, but I like this idea. Perhaps because I gained 20 pounds of pure lard this year and plan to get healthy again over the summer, and love dancing.

    My feelings are mixed. Yes, dancing can be an awesome workout, but if you're doing it solely for the calorie-burning purposes, couldn't it kill the joy pretty easily?
