Did you know that there is a Day Of Dance on Feb 28. The national Spirit of Women Day of Dance for Heart Health. I did not know this, I think this is great. The joy that comes from dancing can have a profound and wonderful impact on our overall health,” said Susan Hamilton, RN, vice president of Nursing at Iredell Memorial Hospital. Day of Dance will allow members of the community to gather with doctors, nurses, medical professionals and community leaders to share information on ways to live a heart healthy lifestyle. They will dance and help educate women about healthy choices they can easily incorporate into their lifestyle while learning personal warning signs every woman should know.
Here are Top 5 Ways Dancing Keeps You Healthy and Fit…
1. Cardiovascular Health- Dancing regularly can decrease your blood pressure, and improve your cholesterol profile. Dancing will encourage a healthy circulatory system by making the heart pump faster, producing a strong healthy heart and lungs. You will also have increased stamina!
2. Weight Control- Dance encourages weight control by burning between 200-400 calories during a half hour of sustained dancing. The more energy you put into your dancing the more vigorous your workout becomes and the more calories you burn.
3. Strong Bones- The side to side movements in dance strengthen your weight bearing bones (tibia, fibia, femur), and have shown to increase bone density. Strong bones mean a decreased risk of osteoporosis.
4. Muscle Tone- You can tone your entire body with regular dance exercise. You will build strong, toned muscles and increase in flexibility due to the multidimensional nature of dance. Dance is a great way to improve your balance and posture as well.
5. Build Confidence-Although confidence is an inner feeling, it can reflect clearly in your outside world. Dancing tends to give an aura of self-confidence to those who do it regularly. You will feel a renewed sense of connection, creativity, and motivation that you will carry with you throughout your day!
