Fun fitness: Dance workouts

The orthodox “go to the gym, lift some weights” routine is honestly not for everyone. Fortunately, enough, in fitness you’ll find that there are many ways you can use to get fit and healthy, without ever needing to set foot in a gym.

Dance fitness is something that  has existed for much longer than I have been alive. Zumba, salsa and belly dancing are but a few of the most popular, fun and interactive styles of dance fitness that allow you to enjoy a little extra oomph in your training program.

Dance workouts often engage the whole body and are therefore great as cardio for weight loss, they support and promote flexibility, agility and endurance. If you look around social media it’s very easy to come across videos, both long and short, showing you how you can achieve your fitness goals through dance.

I recently tried out the flat-belly and tight-booty cardio dance workout session (above) and it was not easy but it was definitely lots of fun. Be sure to give it a try and let me know how you like it! The second video is a choreography I learnt early during my fitness journey and I used it as something to spice up my weekly workout schedule. I'm not the best dancer but it was definitely effective and gives pleasing results.
