Why dance?

Hello, last week I went over some techniques that make you better dancer. Today I’m going to talk about why dancing is not only fun and entertaining, but it is also an excellent work out. Did you know that you burn more calories in one hour dancing than other sports like weight training (light workout), walking (3 ½ miles per hour), bicycling (less than 10 mph), and golfing? A woman about 130 pounds burns approximately 265 calories dancing for one hour versus a person walking for hour. If you have more body fat, then obviously you burn much more calories dancing. Dancing is a great exercise to keep you in shape. It is so much fun and very recommended if you want to get fit and lose weight. Dancing exercises your entire body, allows you to get the full workout of every muscle in your body. Dancing is also a form of relieving stress; after a hard day dancing helps you take your mind of problems. Dancing can be good for anyone. You don’t need to be in a specific dance class to be able to lose weight, all you need to do is keep your body moving to the music and before you know it time will go so fast that an hour will seem like 15 min. It so easy to get really into dancing, the fun you have doing it is an emotion that is priceless.
