Dancing For Weight Loss



Dancing can help you lose weight, but not a substantial amount. Dancing is light, physical activity. Unlike exercise, dancing fails to provide any resistance or serious challenge to the muscles.

Another critical aspect of weight loss is the proper diet. You can not depend on exercise alone to lose weight.

Dancing is great, but it can be included as an activity other than workouts. Dancing can help you relax and keep extra fat out when combined with exercise.

Different types of dances help develop different kinds of muscles. For example, Salsa, requires your lower body to be stronger and muscular. While, the Flamenco requires foot work, hands, and torso twisting. There are different forms of dances like latin, classical, hiphop, jazz, freestyle, pole, and much more. An hour of a dance session can help you burn 200-400 calories, where as running for an hour can help you burn more than 600 calories an hour.
