Dance Workout is Fun and is a Good Aerobic Exercise Plan

 

Dance workout by it’s name alone tells you it is a good for getting your heart rate up and breaking a sweat. Dance fitness is a new trend that has caught on all around the world and online. Dancing is fun, good for your heart, a solid aerobic exercise plan, and will raise your happy hormones; your serotonin level will rise based on studies conducted on dancing, and it can be raised in a matter of minutes while dancing.

 

I have included a pretty good little dance video I took while on vacation with my family in Jamaica a few days ago which was a late night beach party dance off and tons of entertainment that night. I was not at the best angle to record the video, but hopefully you get the idea of dancing for exercise. The dancers in this video was doing a lot of hip hop dance movement infused with Jamaican dance moves. You may or may not be able to do some of these dance moves, but in no time at all you could be doing some of these dance movement or similar ones. Cardio dance workout has movements that can be used to get your ab exercises in. Your core will always be involved in such movements that will help to burn away fat around your belly area. The fun thing about workout is that it can be any type of workout out as long as it get your heart rate up which helps to speed up your metabolism and burns fat; for example, you can do workouts for a week such as:

 

Day 1 – biking 30 minutes

 

Day 2 – running 45 minutes

 

Day 3 – treadmill and resistance training 45 minutes

 

Day 4 – walking in the mall for 1 hour.

 

Day 5 – dancing and resistance training 45 minutes

 

 

Those are all examples of different exercises that will all help you to be healthy and give you the body, mind and soul you desire.  The key to staying in shape and looking good is making exercise a part of your daily routine. Remember, if you do anything regularly you will become quite good at it in little time. You aerobic exercise could be hip hop dance moves, playing with your kids, a leisurely walk, or working in your yard; gardening. Most of these exercises will have some affect on your stomach and give you some degree of ab exercises.

This is why it is better to have muscles

 

 

Just gaining 2 lbs of muscles is going to burn fat at a faster rate than not gaining it. An 2 extra pounds of muscles would be equivalent to walking an extra half a mile a day just by gaining the muscles. That is the power of being lean. Being leaner will keep your metabolism moving faster and therefore cause you to burn much more calories, even when you’re at rest. Aerobics exercise by itself is not the best option when trying to lose weight. You will lose weight, but you can multiply that factor by 3 times just by adding resistance training in your workout. The real kicker is the resistance training. You don’t have to become big and muscular when you gain a few pounds of muscles. We all have muscles and we could use a little more at times. You might just need to gain a few more pounds of lean muscle weight in order to speed up your fat burning process.

 

Once you are over the age of 35 years old, aerobics by itself will only erode your muscle mass and bone density. This is not a good thing for weight loss because it makes you fatter. Not to mention, after the age of 35 you will lose about 2 pounds of lean muscles a year and it will be replaced by about 1.6 pounds of fat. So as you age and have no resistant training your get softer. Not a good thing.

 

Now don’t get me wrong, aerobics is good but just make sure that you include some weight training with it to get the best benefits. If not you will lose more bone density and muscle mass and replace it with fat even if you are losing weight. Again, not a good thing.This will make your weight loss battle an uphill one when it does not have to be that way. Always always be sure to include some sort of weight training in your workout routine. A good mix would be to do 30 mins of aerobics and 30 mins of weight training. You can use light weights and still make a tremendous difference with regards to your body shape, size and weight loss progress.

 

Follow this strategy and see faster results in shorter time. Being more muscular will make your work a lot easier when it comes to trimming down. The muscles in your body will do the legwork for you when it comes to burning calories, even while you are doing absolutely nothing. Plus, the extra strength you will gain from the muscles will make you more energetic, focused, and active. When it comes to weight loss just like anything else you have to work smarter and not necessarily harder. Check out my new diet for weight loss.
