Health benefits of dance workout.

Dance workout is one of the regular exercises that I offen do at home. If I was in a lazy mood to go to fitness center, cycling or brisk walking... this is one of my workout solutions. After sending my kids to school and stopping at the Tesco for grocery, I spend 1 hour for this exercise activity at home. 

Did you know, apparently there are many advantages of dance workout. Here I share some of the benefits that I read from Dance - health benefits

General tips for dancing

If you are thinking of taking up dancing, suggestions include:

See your doctor for a check-up if you have a medical condition, are overweight, are over 40 years of age or are unfit.

Wear layers of clothing that you can take off as your body warms up.

Do warm-up stretches or activities before you begin a dance session.

Drink plenty of water before, during and after dancing.

Make sure you rest between dance sessions.

Don’t push yourself too far or too fast, especially if you are a beginner.

Wear professionally fitted shoes appropriate to your style of dance.

Check with your dance instructor that you are holding the correct form.

Sit and watch new dance moves first. Learning new moves increases your risk of injury, especially if you are already tired.

Perform regular leg-strengthening exercises.

Move as fluidly and gracefully as you can.

Cool down after a dance session, including stretching.
