You’re not a gym person.
But you NEED to EXERCISE to get into SHAPE.
You may also live in an area where the climate isn’t conducive to a daily 30-minute walk or jog.
Or, you may not be keen on the idea of running around the neighborhood in spandex.
There’s an alternative to the gym to get fit.
DANCE!
It’s a great way for people of all ages and physical abilities to get fit and stay in shape.
Plus side is that dancing doesn’t feel like a work-out because you’re having fun.
Dancing is a total body workout that uses all of the major muscle groups and provides heart-health benefits.
You will tone your muscles, burn body fat, and increase balance and coordination.
Candy Olsen, one of the stars of Storage Wars: New York, says:
“I always tell people, take dance class!”
There are a variety of dances classes to choose from depending upon the area in which you live.
- Bar Method
- Ballet
- Belly Dancing
- Bollywood
- Hip Hop
- Jazz
- Line Dance
- Modern
- Salsa
- Swing
- Tango
- Tap
That’s just to name a few. You will find dance classes for children, beginners, and for senior citizens.
Why does Candy Olsen highly recommend dance class?
“I love it. I feel better, more like myself when I'm in shape and in control of my body. Dance class makes me feel like I can do anything and do anything someone else wants me to do. To me it makes sense stay in shape keep. My dance teacher growing up told me dance class was like putting money in the bank, that even the bad days were an investment to a slow steady movement forward.”
Remember, in a beginner’s class no one has a clue to what they are doing. Everyone's awkward, so you can relax.
If you make dance part of your regular routine, you will see how your body builds stamina and endurance, and how your muscles will increase in the ability to work hard for longer periods of time without fatigue.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that dancing is SEXY?
