Do you want to shape up, lose weight, and tone your body? A fun and effective way to burn stored fat and increase your metabolism is by practicing ballroom dancing. The different dances: Jive, Swing, Tango, Salsa, Merengue, Waltz, Foxtrot, Cha cha cha, Quickstep, and Paso Doble give you a fun complete workout.
-
Burning body fat will help you get rid of belly fat too and those love handles.
-
You can go out dancing knowing that dancing will maximize your weight loss plan.
-
Have in mind that to lose 1 pound of stored fat, you need to burn 3500 calories.
What a better way to meet new people, have fun, get fit, and maybe even finding a soulmate or getting closer to your soulmate. Instead of going to the gym and breaking a routine, dress up and go out to a Ballroom Dancing place. You will have fun, practice your dancing steps and even learn new routines.
Don’t know the basic steps? Don’t worry, because many places offer free lesson or you can even buy a ballroom dancing DVD, such as “Dancing with the Stars” Cardio Dance (includes Cha cha cha, paso doble, jive, and samba) Music is fun!
If you are not ready for a high intensity dance, do not lose hope! Even moderate ballroom dancing can help you burn between 250 and 300 calories per hour. If you increase to an intermediate intensity, a more vigorous dancing, you can burn up to 400 calories. Everything depends on your speed and intensity. The point is to dance as much as you can. You can take pauses. Ideally, try to be dancing for at least 20 minutes.
For example, fast salsa and merengue are my favorite dances to burn fat, increase my heart beat rate, and boost my metabolism. Salsa is a latin dance, sexy, sensual, lively, and expressive. It helps you tone your midsection, lower body, and add flexibility. You can either dance alone or with a partner. Merengue is a high intensity dance to burn more calories.
On the other hand, the lambada, samba, and rumba also can make you burn up to 800 calories per hour, depending your speed and intensity. Imagine, you can have more fun dancing in 1 hour than running 1 hour on the treadmill!
You can dance foxtrot, slow rumba, cha cha cha, and waltz to slow down or get some rest. They are more low impact. After you recover, then you can go start again the cycle: medium intensity to high intensity. Dance to the rhythm of swing, jive, salsa, and merengue. Make sure you drink water to keep hydrated and limit your alcohol drinks.
So, it’s Saturday night fever again! So, go ahead, prepare your best wardrobe and go out ballroom dancing to burn fat, increase your metabolism, get a toned body, burn belly fat, and get rid of love handles. Time to shine like the pros in “Dancing with the Stars” , but here YOU ARE THE STAR.
Dance to your heart’s content, love is in the air, and losing weight has never been so fun!
