Belly dancing for losing weight?

[loretta]

I have some friends who started belly dancing classes and they work out a lot in there. Would this be a viable weight loss idea? What do you think? Has anyone tried this? Any good results?

I definitely think that belly dancing is a valuable tool for weight loss. It is a great cardio workout, and provided you are doing it right, it exercises LOTS of muscles! I haven't personally tried it, although when I was pregnant I really wanted to do prenatal belly dancing. It helps strengthen your core so much!
