Dance to be fit!
Here are the health benefits that dancing provides:
| |
It helps tone muscles, strengthen bones and lose weight. Exercise is not just important to general health, it helps build bone mass in youth and slows down bone loss in adults. Exercise is also a factor in helping to reduce the risk of falls as it strengthens muscles, increases flexibility, and improves coordination and balance. During physical activity bones receive messages that they need to work and be strong. When there is a lack of exercise, bones do not receive these messages and lower bone mass can result. Regular physical activity on a long-term basis maintains the benefits for bone health.
Exercise plays an important role in building and maintaining bone strength.
Just like muscles, bones respond when they are “stressed,” in other words, when they are forced to bear more weight than they are used to. This can be achieved by “weight bearing” or impact exercises.
- In the young, exercise helps to build strong bones
- It helps adults maintain their bones
- Exercise helps prevent bone loss and falls in the elderly
- People who have suffered fractures can benefit from special exercises and training (under medical supervision) to improve muscle strength and muscle function for greater mobility and improved quality of life.
Weight-bearing exercise is necessary for good bone health. This type of exercise includes walking, jogging, stair climbing, tennis, volleyball and similar sports, aerobics, tai chi and dancing.
Resistance training, also known as weight or strength training, is also good for muscles and helps maintain bone mass. Speak to your doctor to find out which sort of exercise is best for you according to your age and health condition. |

Dance workout has its benefits too
Dance workout may not provide all the conditioning you need, but it can help. The degree of cardiovascular conditioning depends on how vigorously you dance, how long you dance continuously and how regularly you dance workout. |
 |
Practitioners agree, "To get the exercise benefits of dancing, approach it as you would any workout routine. Do some movement for at least 30 consecutive minutes, three times a week, for cardiovascular benefits. "Make sure you warm up and cool down before and after the session."
"If you dance workout vigorously enough and don't need to lose much weight, you won't have to walk or do any other exercise. But if you are overweight, you will need to walk or jog the other days of the week." |
