Okay, I didn't actually discover dancing, but I started doing it this morning with my daughter and realized that it was an excellent cardio workout. So I continued for half-an-hour. Here are the advantages I found:
- You can do it instantly, without having to go to a gym; additionally, you can do it in any attire, or none at all (not recommended)
- You get to listen to your favorite music (this morning it was Rooney and Owl City)
- If you are creative and unashamed, dancing is rarely boring
- You can exercise with your children, thus increasing rather than decreasing you time with them
- You can exercise with your spouse, loved one, or roomate
- Intermittent slow paced songs allow you to stretch or perform yoga between cardio workouts
- It is free
- You may improve your social status by developing some killer moves
We love to dance- and clean at the same time. I have found that my 20+ lb children like to be danced with, which also adds to the cardio workout. Alas, i am winded by one song and have 3 more kids clammering ot have me "dance" them, and they are even heavier. Any of the uncles want to come dance my bigger kids for a workout- have at it!
