Lose Weight by Dancing

By James Kim

Dancing is a terrific way to lose weight. There are many benefits to learning how to dance. This article will explain the benefits of dancing for weight loss.

Flexibility is very important part of your overall well-being, especially when you start to age. When you dance, you gain a longer range of motion, which leads to becoming more flexible. Many types of dances require that the dancer can perform moves that require bending, stretching and twisting. All of these type of movements will increase the dancer's flexibility naturally.

Your body becomes naturally stronger when dancing. Lean muscle mass burns calories in your body, even without exercising. A great way to increase lean muscles is to dance. Dancing requires a lot of jumping, thrusts and squats. All of these types of movements are great natural plyometrics. Using your body weight as resistance can burn many calories per hour. Some say jump training burns more calories per hour than running on a treadmill. Jazz dance requires a lot of jumping, which will tone your legs and burn calories. However, you won't realize that you're losing weight as you will be having too much fun learning the new dance routine.

Endurance is a key aspect of an overall weight loss plan. The reason you need endurance is because you need your muscles to work hard for a long period of time if you want to lose weight. When incorporating dance in your exercise routine, you will improve overall endurance as well as your aerobic ability. Aerobic exercise is the best way to burn calories without "overdoing it".

The most important benefit of dance is that it's enjoyable. Most exercise routines are not fun as they become mundane and routine after the first week. Dancing is a great way to meet people and increase your social network. Also, when you exercise, you increase the endorphins in your body which will naturally make you feel great. - 17274
