Aaron When you want to learn Martial Arts and also dancing, you can't just pick up "Learn Karate in 30 days" or "Learn to dance Tango in 8 weeks" DVD and learn by yourself. You need to take lessons and you need to learn from a properly trained instructor.

Dance class like modern dance, jazz, ballet, etc. You can learn how to use your body, and that really helps you to exercise effectively. Taking a dance class itself is also a great exercise.

What's the best way of controlling an expanding waist?

Eating less, more sit-ups... something else?

Of course ...

Kick boxing. Great exercise, and it really takes out fat from your waist. Practicing other Martial Arts can be good also.
