There must be a reason why it’s said that music can soothe a savage beast; therefore it is necessary to indulge in music and dance your way to better health and marriage. Music and dance connects the couple but it also gets you up and moving which is beneficial to your health.
There are different forms of dances that one can enjoy according to their personality; for that reason find out what works for you and your spouse and plan a dance date with your spouse.
Benefits of dancing
A number of benefits can be gained by dancing which include but not limited to:
1. Weight Loss
The more vigorous you dance the more calories you burn; therefore turn up that music and dance away the extra weight.
Make sure to have clean drinking water within reach as you will get thirsty due to loss of water from the body due to sweating.
Consistency is very important to lose the extra weight within the desired period.
2. Movement Skills and Coordination
Dance promotes someone to move according to the music; therefore you gain skills in smooth movement and body coordination. A number of reputable models include dance in their exercise regime to be able to move flawlessly on the runway. Furthermore the body becomes flexible which is an advantage while doing everyday chores.
3. Eliminates Stress
Dancing is fun and creates a good feeling that helps reduce stress that may be acquired while associating with others. Additionally you can practice pole dancing in the comfort of your home to laugh at yourself after an exhausting day and forget about your worries for a while.
4. Benefits the Brain
Learning certain steps in dance involves concentration which is beneficial in keeping the brain alert; furthermore remembering the steps will contribute to improved brain health every time.
5. Strengthens and Tones The Body
Most of the muscles in the body are used during dance; therefore they tighten with continued dancing for a lovely toned body. Remember that muscles that are not used waste away; for that reason remember to turn up that volume and dance for at least thirty minutes before retiring to bed.
6. Builds Confidence
A number of people will not be able to dance in front of others; therefore it is necessary to obtain dancing lessons to build on confidence when one masters the steps. Private lessons are available for the very shy persons to have fun during family gatherings or other occasions that call for dance.
7. Creates a Platform to connect and get close to your spouse
Dancing brings couples together to enjoy music and movement. Beautiful and lasting memories are formed which is good for the marriage; furthermore happiness strengthens the immune system for great health and strengthens the connection and love between couples.
8. Eliminates Boredom
A bored person is likely to overeat and gain a lot of weight; therefore dancing at home should be encouraged to kill boredom and burn fat reserves in the body. Still one can invite their friends over to show off who has better moves which will be an advantage in toning the body. Furthermore a couple can create a romantic mood in the home by dancing to soft music.
Don’t overlook the simple act of a two step with your spouse. The fun + laughs + movement= a great date night and calories burned!
