Dance your way to fitness!

Yesterday while my husband was out, I put on some music. Next thing I knew, I was dancing to the music and “choreographing” some workout moves (yeah, I know it sounds corny. Good thing he wasn’t here to watch me!!). Fifty minutes later and a bit sweatier, I had completed my abs, arms, and thigh workout AND I got my heart rate up with some aerobic exercise. I was also able to let out some frustration–when my husband came home, I was in a better mood and relaxed!

So, even if you don’t feel like going running, cycling, or don’t feel like taking a class at the gym, consider putting on some music and dancing. You’ll burn calories and work some muscle groups without even realizing it! (In fact, you can burn up to 300-400 calories an hour while dancing depending on the type, which is comparable to running 3-4 miles.) It’s a great stress reliever and a great way to practice those dance moves! So get out there and shake your thang!
