Dancing for health

I love to dance. Its very energising and really gets the sweat out but whats more, its fun! So much fun that I do not realise that I have been sweating it out and getting the heart rate up. Its a very good aerobics exercise.

I have been dancing through the years. When I was younger, I would go to the discos (does anyone ever go to a disco these days?). Anyway, I digress. As I was saying I used to go to the discos in groups with friends and we would have great fun dancing and sweating it out on the dance floor.

After I outgrew that I took to ballroom dance ie I took up ballroom dancing classes. We used to be amused at this guy in class who couldn’t start the dance with just the music. He would always say “Wait wait! Pom Pom Pom. Pom Pom Pom. 123…” That cracked us up so much. Me and my friends enjoyed the classes so much we would often get together to practise.

Now, I have young kids and not much time but I still dance. Whenever I get bored with my exercise videos, I would take out my dance videos to generate some sweat. This way not only do I get to learn to dance, I get some quick aerobics exercise or workouts as well.
