Dancing?

posted 19th Feb
If I were to, say, turn on my Pandora station and dance around my living room for an hour or so, unchoreographed, can I still track that and consider it exercise?

I mean, I guess I know I can. But HOW? What would it be considered?

I wanna dance around in my living room today  

TIA.

You mean on MyFitnessPal or something like that? They probably have a "dancing" option under exercise.
When I used MFP, I put in EVERYTHING. Shower, walking around at work, walking upstairs, having sex, etc. It's ridiculous how many calories you burn doing menial things.

Well I have a little tracker that tells me how many calories I burn overall all day, but it won't tell me how many per individual activity, kwim?

And yep, I mean on MFP

I don't use MFP so I can't answer regarding that, sorry! Dancing is what I do for cardio (I use dance games on Xbox and Wii) and have lost quite a bit of weight with it.
