Bea,

The reason why dance class isn't working for you is beacause your body is used to dancing so it doesn't burn as many calories as some one else normally would when dancing.

So your best option for losing weight again is to...

Change the exercise you're doing so... Switch from dancing (since you said it isnt working anyway) to another weight loss activiyt

I would do some type of weight loss activity everyday like... doing jogging 3 times a week and doing more intense intervals 3-to-4 times a week.

I hope this helps you on reaching your weigh loss goals and please feel free to contact me anytime if you need more help losing weight

Adrian, I am currently want to loose 5 kilos. I have been doing dance class for 4 times/wk at 1hour each class for almost 3 weeks. But it seems the weight is not going off. Would this dance class be call intervals? I read your loosing the lower ab flab, I think I will start on those too. Also should I also do the "burn normal calories" like jogging on trademill every other day for 30 minutes each time? What you you recommend me do to loose the desire weight within a month in like a schedule? I have time only from 7pm-9:30 pm every day.

To burn the most fat - do 1 interval workout in the morning and then another in the evening

Steven,

Yes - jumping jacks would work - Just jump jack fast for a minute and then slow for the next minute but...

TO make your intervals more fun try tae-bo or hip hop abs in your house instead doing boring jumping jacks

#5

Would Jumping Jacks work as well?
I'm unable to leave the house.
