Belly Dancing: Sexy at Any Size! :

Aug 25, 2007

I admit it. Iā€™m hooked on belly dancing . I began attending classes about eight weeks ago and am into itā€¦ really into it. What grabbed me wasnā€™t the lively music that ranges from Middle Eastern to rock, or the movements that tone muscles I never knew I had. I was moved by the unconditional acceptance of every individual who participates.

Beginning dancers at my South Beach studio range from teens to early 70ā€™s and their figures run from healthy to quite overweight. You donā€™t have to look perfect as you begin your quest for a healthier body here. You actually need a bit of jiggle, to look better when you wiggle! But as you progress, you will meet your personal goals. All in all, belly dancing is pure fun, a great way to burn calories, and a darned good workout. Is it worthwhile to search for a physical activity that you enjoy? You bet it is. Regular exercise offers an almost endless list of physical and emotional benefits:

Improves blood sugar control

Helps you meet your weight goals

Lowers your blood pressure

Reduces risk of heart disease

Strengthens your bones, heart and cardiovascular system

Improves strength, flexibility, and endurance

Improves circulation and flexibility

Improves your sleep

Helps you feel relaxed, fit and healthy

Heightens self-esteem

Reduces feelings of depression, stress and anxiety

You may never turn an exercise choice into a new passion, but you can make it much more pleasant to do. First, ask your physician about any physical conditions that may prohibit you from doing certain activities. Then try the following:

1.Look for something youā€™ve always wanted to do. Did you have a childhood sports dream? Always want to be Dorothy Hamill? Enroll in ice skating classes. Want to complete a marathon? Sign up for a charitable walk/run event. Many organizations will help you find workout partners in your area and assist you in setting realistic weekly goals.
