One of the funniest ways to do sports is dancing. If you get bored doing only squats and sit-ups, don't worry because we have prepared a compilation of Instagram accounts, YouTube channels and various dance disciplines to get you in shape by moving hard.
Dancing is inherent to the human being. And if you lose a few pounds or improve your silhouette, all the better. Dancing reduces the stress and tension of day to day, it is a kick of good vibes and allows you to combine exercise with good vibes. You have fun beginner-level classes or real high intensity pumps just for those who are already used to the gym. To choose, think about what kind of music you like, what part of the body you want to work the most and how far you are willing to give your all.
STRONG by Zumba
This high intensity sports modality that works with the weight of the body combining strength and cardio exercises with techno music. It allows you to burn calories while toning your arms, legs, abs and glutes through movements such as kneeling raises, squats and jumping jacks. Here you can watch a 30 minute workout!
Ballet fit
Its creator, Gloria Morales - @atacadas on Instagram -, connects live every day to lead a class in this discipline. You can also find different workouts on her YouTube channel.
The Booty Shape Movement
Created by Erika Sanz (dancer in the series A step forward ), it is a discipline focused on achieving a butt of ten with an intensive work of buttocks, hips and thighs to the rhythm of hip hop and Latin music. They are 50 minutes of high voltage with choreographies that incorporate squats, lunges, pelvic lifts, glute kicks … All, incorporated in urban dance steps and with a very sensual touch.
Pound rockout
Work mostly your arms. The class begins with each participant holding a pair of drumsticks of about 200 grams each and hitting the ground with all their might with each drum beat. Jumps, squats and even Pilates poses follow. Drumsticks force you to work your arms, forearms, shoulders, back and chest. And at full speed. In passing, the core is toned to stabilize movement and improve coordination and agility.
Latin dances (and much more)
Another account where you can find super fun workouts through dance is POPSUGAR. From 'cardio dance workout', to hip hop or Latin dance. The choreographies are very simple and easy to follow, but we can assure you that you will end up giving it your all and burning many more calories than in a crossfit class.
FitDance Life is another of the most followed channels to get in shape by dancing on YouTube. With more than 5 million subscribers, they prepare different choreographies of the most popular songs of the moment, from Tusa by Karol G & Nicki Minaj to Reac by Pussycat Dolls.
On the YouTube channel of Patry Jordan, a CLARA collaborator, you can also find exercises to lose weight by dancing.
Total Barre
It combines yoga, pilates and ballet , making it the perfect therapy to stretch, strengthen and gain body harmony. A good part of the class is done with a ballet barre (which you can substitute for a table, for example). Leaning on it, you can do squats and other exercises that work on muscle strength, isometry and balance, without losing sight of the correct alignment of the back. This is followed by specific arm work with weighted balls, and core and lumbar exercises with softballs.
Sh'bam
It is a workout for those looking for a smooth session, but with sexy movements like those in video clips. According to Rachael Newshaam, director of this program, “the important thing is to dare. No one is looking at you, so unleash your full potential. " It's fun, easy to follow, and it works the whole body, but especially the hips.
And if you want to join the latest fashion social network , we recommend you download the Tik Tok application on your mobile and learn how to do the choreographies of your favorite artists. From this quarantine we came out dancing!
