Do you find traditional workouts boring?
Great news – you can move your body and have fun getting fit by dancing! You don’t have to be fit, flexible, or even all that rhythmic to build your fitness and flexibility throughout dancing.
Can dancing provide you with a good workout? Yes! You’re getting moderate-intensity exercise if you’re dancing fast enough to raise your heart rate. Dancing engages multiple muscles in your body and even generally counts as a full-body workout.
It doesn’t matter what kind of dance you do either, as long as you move your body to something you enjoy.
