My Personal Experience with Dance Workouts:

Before, when I was asked to name dance, the first thing that would come to my mind would be nights out not training. But then one day about a few years ago I said to my friend lets do the Zumba. Which I thought to myself, “why not give it a try?” In fact, it was the most fun workout that I have ever had. This music, those moves, people just over the top – so much energy in the room! By the time I got into the final match, I was sweating profusely and as much as I would not want to admit it, I hadn’t even realized I was exercising.

What I love most about dance workouts is how they don’t feel like exercise. You’re moving, burning calories, and toning muscles, but because you’re lost in the music and movement, it’s easy to stay motivated. Since that first class, dance has become a regular part of my fitness routine, and I’ve never felt stronger or more energetic.

A Client’s Dance Workout Journey:

A woman who is my client, Rabia, turned to me looking for a fun way and entertaining approach to weight loss and happiness. She had also attempted running on the treadmills, cycling among other conventional training on gym equipment but these she found uninteresting and could not be consistent on. I first taught her dance cardio and by the end of the first week she could not get enough of it. Besides she noticed physical changes – she lost 10 pounds in two months – but her mental health changed for the better too. The other thing she said was that dancing made her feel like it was a therapeutic session where she gets to relieve stress whenever she is through working.

Rabia’s confidence has soared since incorporating dance into her routine. Now, she says she looks forward to working out because it doesn’t feel like a chore. It’s become a form of self-care for her, and that’s exactly what fitness should be!

Tips for Incorporating Dance Workouts Into Your Routine:

Start Slow:

If you’re new to dance workouts, don’t worry about keeping up with every move. Just let yourself enjoy the music and move at your own pace.

Mix It Up:

It is diverse to switch between different dances so that it is not repetitive also affects various muscles in the body. One day go for Zumba and the following day you try bar or even maybe hip hop.

Use Online Resources:

Of course, there is nothing better than a free dance workout and you will find them in plenty online. Whether you have 10 minutes or an hour, you can find something to fit your schedule.

Set Goals:

Though goals may refer to being good at a certain routine, going for a particular set of classes per week, or something similar, they can help keep one on the right track.

Make It Fun:

Pick music that you enjoy listening to, and it’s alright if it’s not complicated or professional sounding. More important is enjoyment and constant activity.

And if you are looking for an activity that results in a better physical shape, mental state and general feel-good factor, then dance workout is the right thing for you. Get your dancing shoes on and let the music guide you towards the dancing machine in your healthier self!
