You can do cardio dance! 10 tips to get moving

It looks intimidating, doesn’t it? That room in the gym where they have classes with
names like Cardio Kickboxing, Step Funk and Pump ‘n’ Jump. while you passed,
you’ve seen the jocks out of the corner of your eye – it seems like a lot of
fun. But you know you could never do that: you bump into yourself walking from the
Stairmaster to the treadmill, which are getting In fact bored. Good,
guess what? If for a few minutes you can stop telling yourself that can not
Do cardio dance, maybe, just maybe, you’ll find that you really can do it.

Of course, if you have serious trouble moving and counting to four at the same
time, one count for each step, then cardio dance is probably not for you. Yes you can
count to eight while moving, then there’s a chance you’ll actually get good at
he. Can you step-touch? I mean, can you step aside and bring your
another foot to find it? Can you walk on the spot? Can you step forward with one foot?
and then raise the other knee? Can you step forward with one foot and while
standing on that foot, raise the other knee three times? If you can do that then
already performed a cardio dance move – it’s called a “repeater” (a
obvious name for repeating the same knee lift more than once). it only gets better
from now on.

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your dance cardio.
experience:

1. Please dress appropriately, including and especially your footwear! The right shoes can make your cardio class a joy; incorrect ones can cause injury. With dance cardio, you move slightly to the sides, rather than forward, like you do when you walk or run. So you will need shoes made especially for cardio dance. If you don’t want to invest in specific cardio dance shoes right away, at least make sure you have elliptical trainers; that way, if the classes don’t work for you, you can use them for other activities. . If you’re a woman, make sure you wear a sports bra that’s very supportive, even if you’re doing a low-impact class, at the very least a jogging bra. You don’t really want to hang around, it’s uncomfortable, and if you’re more than a B cup, it’s downright painful.
2. When you first come to class, arrive early and tell the instructor that you are a beginner. That way he or she can take extra time with you or at least make sure you’re in a place where you can see what’s going on.
3. Start with a simple class, something with a name like “Aerobics for Beginners” or “Hi-Lo I.” Don’t even think about the “Tae-Yo-Fusion-Funk-Pump III” class just yet! Go as basic as possible. When you start to get bored with the basics, try something more advanced or adventurous, like a funk class or a Step class.
4. Follow the instructor as if you were looking at a mirror. Don’t think too much about left and right, that can get confusing. Just mimic/mirror what the instructor is doing to the best of his ability. Don’t overthink it. Thinking gets in the way of doing. The less you think, the better you will be.
5. Once the class has a basic step down, the instructor will usually try to change it up a bit, add something fancy like a special kick or a different way of walking or, oh my! – one turn. If you are an absolute beginner at aerobics, this may be disconcerting at first. Don’t worry, just keep doing the basic step the way you were originally taught. Or if you try the new form and get lost, go back to the basic move. Always, if you get confused, go back to the original step until you get your bearings.
6. Instructors will often add arm movements to your foot movements. Consider those optionals for now. Arm movements are good because they add intensity and help get your heart rate up, especially if your arms stay at or above heart level. But if you’re just starting out, they can be really confusing. Try them only when you feel really confident with what your feet are doing.
7. Your cardio class will often end with some strength training. Do the movements carefully. With many of these classes, you only use light weights or body resistance, so you have to focus on the muscles being worked, or you won’t get much of a workout. And if you can’t do those last few crunches, don’t worry. It is not a competition.
8. If you have one of those cheerleading instructors who wants you to yell and yell and you’re not the yell and yell type, then don’t do it! Seriously, vocal participation is not necessary. Make everyone else look stupid.
9. If you’re too shy to do cardio dance with a crowd of people, try some videos at home first. There are loads of cardio dance DVDs for all levels of fitness. Just be sure to read the reviews first to make sure they’re appropriate for your beginner level.
10. Here’s the real beauty of working out with cardio dance videos: You can pause the routine and go back as many times as you like until you’re down a step. The first few times, accept the fact that you may not train very much because you’re just learning the moves (actually, some of the enjoyment should come from learning). But after that, you should be fine. A word of caution: be careful when making some movements on the mat, especially anything where you’re jumping, spinning, or sliding your feet across the floor. And make sure you’ve cleared some space—it’s no fun to kick over your coffee table.

If you keep going back to your cardio dance classes, the time will come when
everything falls into place and you feel like you are lighter than air. enjoy it – that
the feeling of euphoria is the dancer’s high, and there’s nothing like it.
