Is Belly Dancing Good For Weight Loss?

In physical exercise, aerobic exercise literally means "with oxygen", and
refers to the use of oxygen in muscles' energy-generating process. Aerobic
exercise, which is also referred to as Cardio, includes any type of exercise,
typically those performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended
periods of time, that maintain an increased heart rate. In such exercise,
oxygen is used to "burn" fats and glucose.


“But why do people think they have to get on a treadmill or bike at the gym
to do their Cardio?” says Rafael Moret,CSCS, President of South Florida
Fitness BootCamp (http://www.southfloridafitnessbootcamp.com/ ). “After a while walking on the
treadmill or riding the bike at the gym is boring, and you don’t want that”.
People should only do their cardio indoors once per week, if that... the rest of the
aerobic workout should come from another activity. People should have
fun with their workouts and develop habits that will become part of their
lifestyle.


Belly Dancing is a GROWING Trend and awesome way to burn calories.
According to Dr. Edward R. Laskowski,M.D.-"Belly dancing can burn 250-300
calories per hour. "...Belly-dancing and other types of dance can be good exercises for weight loss.
In fact, you can burn as many calories belly-dancing as you can walking, swimming or riding a bike.
As with any physical activity, however, the weight-loss benefits of belly-dancing depend on several factors
including the frequency and length of your workouts and your exertion level.

If you’re tired of going to the gym, tired of working out to music that doesn't
inspire you, then why not dance and get a great workout at the same time
to music you’ll love. It is perfect for those who want to burn calories and
learn how to sway their hips and make your belly move !!!

“The reason we encourage dance class vs. aerobic class is because of the
Lifestyle enhancing qualities it provides,” says Moret. Exercising has to be
part of your life not just a phase, if you are looking to lose weight or simply
stay in shape. Sometimes, aerobic classes are very repetitious and don’t
actually teach skills you can use.
