Dance your way to a slimmer body

Did you know that dancing can burn as many calories as swimming, riding a bicycle and walking? 

Depending on the type of dance, you could burn an estimated 200 to over 600 calories per hour while dancing!

Dancing is also a fabulous way to increase your heart rate, improve your balance and burn calories.

It's also a weight-bearing workout which means it helps improve bone density and muscle strength, both of which are critical if you are at risk of developing osteoporosis. 

Each form of dance is different and therefore requires the use different muscles, whether salsa or Zumba. You could even try twerking, the latest dance craze from the US. Click here if you want to learn how to twerk!
