A Fun Way To Health And Fitness
“Exercise is boring.” Is one of the most common complaints about exercising for weight loss, most of which involves a high-repetition-low-impact cardio-vascular program. Sure there are TVs in the fitness club, or you can plug into your iPod and listen to your favorite music, but exercise can be boring. Then along came dance exercise, providing all the fun of dancing and the fitness benefits of cardio. Most of the dance-for-exercise programs are available on DVDs so you can train at home, but many fitness clubs are offering dance exercise classes in their aerobics rooms.
Set to lively popular music; rock to hip-hop, even belly-dancing, the dance exercise routines are, as described in one promotion for a DVD, “fifty minutes of fun . . . and sweating!” Though you may do the dance exercise at home, there is something about the atmosphere of a crowded aerobics room with a bunch of jumping (dancing?), sweaty bodies all aglow from a mutually shared experience. Also, it is a lot easier to keep up the program if you have a bunch of workout partners. These programs aren’t just for the ladies either. Many men are enjoying the vigorous dancing weight loss programs as well.
Some of the internet sites promoting these DVDs also have sample videos available at a click of the mouse: www.DanceXFitness.com, www.jazzercise.com, www.beachbody.com, www.collagevideo.com/exercise-videos/dance-exercise-videos.com and many others. Just do a Google and look for what you want. Also, query the local health and fitness clubs, including the YMCA and you’ll probably find a number of options available to you.
