Reema's BOLLYFIT Blog: 'DANCING AS A CALORIE BURNER' By Reema Sarin, Founder BOLLYFIT

Dear BOLLYFITTERS,

We recently spoke about 'Curing Hangovers' and if you recall, we said that 'Dancing' is

a sure shot way to reduce the effects of excessive drinking.

Well the good news is that 'dancing' is also one of the most enjoyable ways to burn those

extra calories and lose Weight!

Read on to find out how many calories you can actually burn in this FUN way!

DANCING AS A CALORIE BURNER

Be it Bollywood, Disco, Modern Dancing, Jazz, Hip-hop, Salsa, Samba, Flamenco or Break-dance – all of them involve a mix of fast (high impact) and moderate (low impact) cardio, muscle toning and fat burn moves. Infact, industry research shows that one can burn between anything above 200 calories with just 30 minutes of dancing, which means you can burn nearly 400 calories per hour!!

What could be a better way to shed the love handles and the extra pounds than dancing to your favorite 'Bollywood', ‘Rock', 'Indipop', ‘Western pop', ‘Techno’ or ‘Reggae’ music atleast once a week.

Some useful tips for 'dancing as a calorie burner' are:

1) Drink lots of water throughout the dance session to keep yourself hydrated

2) Compensate alcoholic drinks with 'fresh juices'

3) Wear clothes of cool fabrics that allow the body to 'breathe' and the perspiration to evaporate - like cotton, linen, lycra, amongst others

4) Wear 'nice but comfortable' shoes

5) Last but not the least - 'NO SMOKING' while dancing! Smoking is a stamina killer and will hamper your energy while dancing!

So what are you waiting for! Put on your dancing shoes this week-end and 'kill two birds with one stone' - Party and Lose Weight!
