Fun and Easy Way to Get Ready For Swimsuits

   According to Joyce Luhrs, president of Luhrs & Associates, several leading research centers have touted the physical fitness benefits of social dancing. The renown Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota reported that dancing is not only a great way to have fun and socialize but also offers several health benefits. Dance 30 minutes continuously, and you will burn 200 to 400 calories, the same as walking, swimming, or cycling.      

   Their research found social dancing provides cardiovascular conditioning and strong bones. Consistent social dance exercise leads to a slower heart rate, lower blood pressure and improved cholesterol levels. They recommend 30 to 40 minutes of continuous activity three to four times a week. The degree of cardiovascular conditioning depends on how vigorously you dance, how long you dance continuously and how regularly.    

   The side-to-side motions of many ballroom dances such as mambo and swing strengthen the tibia, fibula, and femur and also help in the prevention or slow loss of bone mass associated with osteoporosis.
