Kick Up Your Cardio With Dance Exercise

[alan gyllenhaal]

Almost everyone knows about the importance of cardiovascular activity,
but not everyone is getting as much exercise as they should. Cardio in
particular is important for improving the health of your heart,
helping you burn fat and lose weight if you need to, and giving your
body a jump start so it burns more calories throughout the day.
If you don't exercise because you think you'll have to join an
expensive gym and spend all your free time around hard bodies, think
again. You can get a wonderful cardio workout without taking a lot of
time out of your busy day, and you don't even have to leave your
house.
Dancing is the ultimate exercise for busy people because it can be
done almost anywhere, from your living room to your favorite dance
club. Moving to the rhythm of the music doesn't really feel like
exercise, but doing the right moves can work your whole body and give
you that feeling of having worked hard even though you were having fun
doing it.
Dancing is easy on the body compared to running or other
cardiovascular activities you might have tried, and it can strengthen
your muscles as well as your bones, which is good insurance against
fractures in the future.
Using dance as exercise is great for any group of people. You can
dance alone in your living room or work out with your kids or a few
friends. You won't even feel like you're working out because you're
enjoying the music, but you can burn as many calories as you would
running or riding a bike.
So many people shy away from exercise because they think it has to be
boring. I'm here to tell you that you can have the time of your life
while working out. Moving to the music will shrink your waistline as
well as get you laughing and smiling all the way to a fitter healthier
you.
Dance exercise can improve your self image and confidence levels, as
well as your balance, coordination and heart health. You don't need
any special equipment or skills to dance'anyone can do it. So put on
your dancing shoes for the most fun you've ever had while working out.
