Health Advantages Of Dance Lessons

An intense workout at the gym is not the only way to get in shape. In fact, there are several fun ways to stay thin and fit. One fun way to be physically active is taking dancing lessons. A class is a great way to get motivated, keep moving and feel mentally engaged by learning something new. Plus, you'll find a lot of surprising benefits from the occasional dance lessons.

Stronger joints and bones

Regular exercise helps strengthen your bones and reduce your chances of developing osteoporosis. And dancing, in particular, is a low-impact exercise that has little need for recover and a lower chance of injury from overexertion. Additionally, dancing is great for limbering up. You warm up, stretch and stay flexible by doing a dynamic exercise that is more about movement than heavy lifting. Different body parts like hips, knees and other joints in your body are used in dancing which helps keep them healthy and free of ailments like arthritis.

Burn calories

With each dance move, you burn calories. You can burn around 5 to 15 calories every minute by dancing. The overall sum of calories burned, obviously, depends on the amount of time you dance and the speed of the moving you’re going. The ability to control the intensity of the workout makes it a great way to gradually build your strength and stamina.
