When it comes to fitness and cardiovascular activities, dance is often overlooked. The beautiful thing about many dance styles, types or styles is this: You don't need a partner. All you need is yourself and proper shoes.
For example, Mary always loved to dance. She cannot
remember a time when she did not want to dance. Or, sway to the sound of music.
While she saw it as dancing, others simply saw her moving and
"biting" - without any rhythm or style - to the beat of the music; A
beat he heard in his head was not a beat often heard by others. In middle
school, her band teacher told her that "she had no rhythm". In high
school and college, when he found himself on the dance floor - oblivious to the
people around him - he found himself beating up. During the day, while going to
school dance or party, people would come in and ask you to dance. Hardly, he
was approached for a dance. Although shy, her love of dance allowed her to
dance with herself. His best friend, who was considered a "good"
dancer (and always asked for a dance), said that he looked like a chicken on
the dance floor. It was long before the funky chicken dance became popular.
Fast forward, after more than 40 years, Mary is
still dominating or moving to the sound of music. Often, in the privacy of your
home. This is his primary form of exercise. Upon meeting her, I immediately noted
her strength, muscle tone, and agility (for a person in her late sixties) and
concluded that she had a strict fitness regimen; Perhaps, a personal trainer as
well. When I inquired, she told me that she watches her diet and dances three
or four times a week; Sometimes alone - in the privacy of her own home; Other
times, she goes out. Always, however, she dances by herself, without a partner.
He said that he has always loved music; And since childhood — his schedule from
his time — he found time to "sway" to music, even if he could get it
in just 15 or 20 minutes. Although Mary enjoys many styles, her favorite is
reggae. She said that Reg allows her to "self" anytime and anywhere.
Dance is considered a recreational activity and is
often overlooked and evaluated for the positive effects that it can have on
one's mental and physical health, particularly those of active older adults and
people with mobility challenges. between. Regardless of the type of dance (or
genre) you are interested in (and there are many, from ballroom and tap to
reggae and hip hop), there are many physical, mental, and social benefits. No
matter your age and physical limitations, there are many reasons to dance. Here
are my top three:
• happiness! When you relax and let yourself go, you
realize that dancing is fun. Music, rhythms, movements - even when you miss a
few or many steps - give you a satisfying experience. For example, some dance
styles, such as Zumba® (a Latin-inspired, cardio-based, dance-fitness program),
create a party-like atmosphere that is exhilarating, easy-to-follow, and is
designed for the mind, body, and soul. Is great for For me, the fun factor is
enhanced when the playlist includes some of my personal favorites.
• Health and wellbeing. Regardless of style, type or
style, dance gives an opportunity to get a total body workout. The number of
calories in an hour varies - depending on body weight and intensity of the
dance routine. However, at moderate to high intensity, dance can burn around
200 calories per hour. It works the major muscles and gives you a good
cardiovascular workout. Dance improves muscle tone, strength, endurance,
flexibility, and agility. This increases the range of motion and allows the
joints to move more freely.
• Social interaction. Not only is dance a lively
form of exercise, it provides an opportunity to increase your social contact
with like-minded people in a fun, non-judgmental and safe environment. It gives
you a chance to enhance your social relationships with learning some new and
exciting skills. Many lasting friendships and relationships began on the dance
floor.
