Josh & Bamui, whose dance video using Fitz and the Tantrums’ “HandClap” created a buzz, are also drawing attention for their diet dance set to Billie Eilish’s song “bad guy.” Moving your body to the track’s repetitive bassline and claps is sure to naturally ramp up your energy.

And if you customize the signature title-calling move with your favorite pose, it will get even more exciting!

The “Miracle Chumba Dance,” which you can keep up with at a just-right length of about 10 minutes a day, is perfect for anyone who wants to diet in a planned way! Compared to the Hand Clap Dance, the moves are more dynamic, so you can really push yourself in a short amount of time—that’s the beauty of this routine.

It may look tough at first glance, but there are lots of repetitive motions, so once you get used to it, it shouldn’t be a problem.

And if you shout “Fooo!” loudly while dancing like in the sample video, it’s a great stress reliever too—two birds with one stone.

Absolutely! Slimming Dance DietThankyou BUBU

How about trying Thankyou BUBU—the “Tank Couple”’s full-fledged diet dance, complete with warm-ups and cool-downs? The explanations are in Korean, but there are solid Japanese subtitles, so no worries.

One of the best parts is targeted fat burning—like trimming your arms with triceps extensions while stepping.

If there are areas you’re concerned about, why not give this diet dance a try?

For waist-focused fitness, I especially recommend a workout by dancer MYLEE DANCE that uses Dance Monkey’s track “Tones and I.” “Tones and I” is a huge hit that topped the UK charts for 11 consecutive weeks.

The movements aren’t intense, but the hip actions that fully engage your abs and obliques are perfect for slimming the midsection, and it turns into a full-body workout that makes you break a gentle sweat.

The video also displays a countdown so you can see how many seconds are left, which makes it feel doable to push through to the end.

Give it a try!

On Mama TV, there’s a simple diet dance video that uses a twisting motion of the arms and legs while stepping side to side.

Compared to other hand-clap dances and the like, the tempo and movements aren’t very intense, making it perfect for people who aren’t used to exercising much.

By the way, the video on YouTube is oddly surreal, featuring a man wearing an apron and a horse head.

The fact that you might find yourself laughing while you dance is another recommendation point! (lol)

Speaking of diet dances, it seems that quite a few use royalty-free music or songs that aren’t very well-known in Japan.

On the other hand, some people might feel, “I want to boost my motivation for dieting, so I’d prefer a diet dance set to the K-pop I usually listen to.” If that’s you, I recommend a dance routine using BLACKPINK’s 2020 hit “How You Like That.” The structure matches the song: it starts with a warm-up and gets intense at the chorus, making it a very efficient and highly recommended workout!

Zumba dance was created by Colombian dancer and choreographer Alberto “Beto” Perez.

Because you can burn fat by stepping side to side to Latin music, it’s gaining attention worldwide as a dance for weight loss.

How about trying a longer, 50-minute Zumba session? In YouTube videos, the music—like EDM and other easy-to-move-to tracks—keeps changing, so you won’t get bored even if you exercise continuously for 50 minutes!
