WORKOUT WEDNESDAY Dancing

Recently, Refinery29 picked my brain about my favorite way to stay fit and while you might expect that I have a go-to class or something more interesting, I actually am just a fan of shaking my groove thing. You know, dancing! Any kind of dancing (as you may remember I signed myself up for some little-known dance show a few years ago. You may have heard of it. . .)

But, it's true. To move to the music surrounded by friends is not only a great night out, it's also an amazing way to stay in shape and to burn a few of those gingerbread calories (I don't know about you, but those seasonal baked goods are piling up in our office)! And best of all? While you're getting your heart rate up to the beat, you'll probably forget that you're even exercising. But you are. Check it out (average 150 lb. person/60 min):
