Want to Lose Weight the Fun Way? Just Dance! |

Let’s face it, everyone is looking for the secret to losing weight and everyone wants it to be easy and pleasurable.
By simply dancing to your favorite music and busting out some fun moves, you can shift those unwanted pounds rather quickly. Most people fail at diets and exercise programs because they are boring and repetitive. Dancing takes the 'work' out of the exercise regimen and replaces it with a missing essential ingredient 'fun'! It not only unleashes a flood of feel good endorphins and lifts spirits but is a great social activity. Dancing can burn just as many calories as jogging, walking, swimming, or riding a bicycle. It is the perfect blend of cardiovascular workout that strengthens your lungs, tones muscles, improves flexibility, and can enhance your self-esteem. So if you are ready to boogie, The Med Guru suggests a few dance forms you can easily incorporate in your life to get a more slender silhouette. 1. Salsa High energy routine like salsa can burn large amount of calories and is at par with an intense workout at the gym. It enhances physical endurance and teaches how to exert greater control over your body. It is complete work-out for legs and hips and tone up muscles. On an average, you can burn 400 calories after an hour of salsa. 2. Ballet Ballet is an awesome way to increase flexibility. It is dance form that challenges the mental and physical capacity of an individual and brings grace to those with clumsy tendencies. Ballet helps develops balance, muscles, and rhythm in a dancer’s body. You can burn over 100 calories over an hour of ballet. 3. Ballroom Dancing Ballroom dancing, like the Quickstep, Waltz, and Tango builds bone density and sharpens balance and co-ordination. This weight bearing activity is equivalent to brisk walking in terms of calorie consumption.At least 180 to 480 calories are consumed during an hour of ballroom dancing. 4. Jazz and Hip-Hop The quick-footed jazz and hip-hop is better than spending an hour on the treadmill. These dance forms can burn about 300 calories an hour while working all the major muscle groups. Since there is such a range of movement in these type of dances, both your upper and lower body get a complete workout. It also makes one more flexible and agile. 5. Belly Dancing Belly dancing is another fun type of dance that is gaining popularity. This type of dancing is a great choice for shifting weight because it involves many different muscles and parts of the body. You can expend more calories from belly dancing than from biking or working out on a treadmill. However, if you can’t make it to a studio and would rather stay at home, just turn up the music, throw your head back, let loose and groove until you get your heart rate up. So start exploring your options and create a weight loss program that is easy to stick to. Keep at it and have fun. |
