Cardio dance - Examiner

In the winter, it is very common to get bored with doing your cardio workout inside and doing the same thing every workout. One way to add some excitement into your cardio and still get a great workout, try cardio dance. Cardio dance is like an aerobics class, but is more structured as dance. There are many places to give it a try, even in your own living room.

How to dress is something to consider. As far as clothes, you can wear whatever is comfortable for you and easy to move in. Make sure you dress as if your going to run, to make sure you are prepared for the bouncing and jumping. Your choice of shoes is important. You will be moving side to side and back and forth most of the time. Running shoes are not made for the side-to-side movement. You can get shoes that are made especially for cardio dance classes or you can wear a good cross training shoe, or even tennis shoes will work fine. You need the wider larger support area on the floor.

If you want to try cardio dance, but you feel you don't know the steps well enough, or you just want to cardio dance at home, there are hundreds of videos available. The best way to pick, which one you will like, is to go on you tube and search for cardio dance videos. Watch some of the one that have sample clips and pick which one looks the best for you. Make sure when doing the video at home that you clear a large enough spot so you can do the dance without getting injured.

After you feel comfortable that you can do the steps and keep up with the class, there are classes available at almost every health club. In the Twin Cities you can go to mspmag and find contacts and listings for many health clubs and YMCA group classes that are available.

If you decide to go to a class, make sure the first one you sign up for is a beginner class and try to arrive early the first time and tell the instructor that you are new. Ask them if you can get a place where you can see what they are doing, and to see if they can give you some tips on learning the steps.

Add some variety into your winter cardio workout and you will not get bored with it. Subscribe at the top of the page if you would like to get an email when a new article comes out.
