Burn that belly by boogying

What could be more fun than a night out with your friends! If you're like me, you'll always be on a night out thinking 'god my legs are burning, this dancing is pretty damn hard, it must be burning some serious calories'. Well, I am here to tell you that it absolutely does.

According to Cosmopolitan dancing can burn upwards of 443 calories per hour! So if you're dancing your heart out from 11-3, that's 1172 calories per night. Serious calories. But another thing to consider is what you're drinking on a night out.

Most likely, you'll be drinking something alcoholic. We want to make sure that the calories you burn dancing aren't cancelled out by the booze. Let's say you drink beer. According to the British Medical Association a pint of beer typically contains 215 calories. If you drink 5 pints, that adds up to a whopping 1075 calories. So you're only burning a total of 97! If you choose a wiser choice of drink, you could be in the clear.

Maybe switch to a vodka, soda and lime? A shot of vodka is around 72 calories, lime cordial about 10 per glass, whilst soda has next to nothing. A total of 360 calories makes 812 calories burned for the evening! You've even got room for a bag of chips at the end of the night.
