Dancing for health

I hope you?re ready to bust a move because dancing is a phenomenal workout for your mind and body! Dancing provides the body with many health benefits, including, but not limited to: increased energy, decreased stress, and improved strength, muscle tone, coordination, and flexibility. Social dancing can be a cardio workout that torches between 200 to 500 calories per hour! The exact number of calories you burn depends on the distance you travel while grooving to the beat as well as physical factors such as height, age, weight, and fitness level. In one study, researchers found that square dancers can cover five miles in a single evening; talk about swinging your partner round and round and round!
