Why Dance is Great for Fitness

5 Reasons Why Dance Makes for a Great Workout

Trying to be more active but you just haven’t found something you enjoy doing? It’s ok. No judgment here. Not everyone is a gym person, not everyone likes running or jogging, not every fitness class is fun or even tolerable for some. We get it. That’s why we’re lucky to have options. If you love to dance, you certainly would enjoy doing it as a form of fitness.

Listen up because this is where it gets interesting. Other than being tons of fun, dancing is also a wonderful and very effective form of exercise. Who knew having fun and burning calories could happen simultaneously? Well, you better believe it, dancing contributes to your fitness and here are five reasons to back that up.

Both Aerobic and Anaerobic

Your body witnesses great improvements overall when it’s subject to aerobic and anaerobic exercises and dance involves both. It gets all the benefits of aerobic exercise thanks to all the jumping and twirling but also gets the benefits of anaerobic exercises involved like squat holds and balancing.

Changes Constantly

If you’re easily bored, dance fitness classes are great for you. The moves are always changing, even within the same class, and you can choose from a variety of styles.

Works on Your Flexibility

Dancing makes you stretch more to improve your flexibility. Better flexibility helps you minimize the risk of injury and is beneficial for your overall health.

Music Keeps You Motivated

In life, there’s usually music involved in everything we do. Most people use music as motivation when they’re in the office, when they go for a run, or for anything else, really. The music involved in dance fitness classes will keep you feeling energized and motivated to continue to do it.
