Belly Dancing: A Different Way to Burn Calories
There are many different ways to burn calories: riding a bicycle, walking, swimming, boxing, doing aerobics or household chores, and, of course, dancing. In fact, according to NutriStrategy, you can burn from about 266 to 388 calories per hour while dancing. If you want or need to burn calories and you are not interested in performing a routine of exercises or practicing any sport, you should consider dancing. Actually, belly dancing is a new exercise trend that, besides burning calories, allows you to strengthen your heart, immune and respiratory systems, build up stamina and help you be in shape.
Belly dancing has many advantages that other routines do not have. First of all, it is a funny and unusual way to work out. It is an energetic routine that lets you work muscles that you usually do not work without the risk of joint injuries. Moreover, it provides you with more oxygen so that you feel more active and less stressed. Additionally, you can burn 300 calories during belly dancing. Certainly, the amount of calories burned will rely on the body type, weight and metabolism of the dancer and the intensity of the workout. Other less known and unexpected benefits of belly dancing are: the increase of cardiovascular capacity and the decrease of the risks of developing osteoporosis.
Thanks to the soft movements that characterize belly dancing, you will feel more relaxed so that you can get rid of daily stress. Moreover, you work muscles surrounding the vertebrae, hips, shoulders and neck. For this reason, it improves body balance, posture and flexibility. If you think that this is not enough, remember that belly dancing is a beautiful, exotic, artistic and feminine way of expression. Thus, your self-esteem will also improve.
