Bellydancers use just their core to do different movements.Ever wondered why they have the most toned abs in the world???? its because belly dancing hits almost every part of the core u can imagine!
It is a misconception that u need to do 500 crunches a day everyday for you to get flat abs
your abdominal muscles will only be seen when your body fat percentage goes down and the fat aurrounding your abs is diminished-That is easily achieved by dancing as it is an excellent fat burner
Also your abdominal muscle is actually a big sheet of muscle.Treat it like any other body part.If u dont work on our bicep or back muscle everyday why exhaust the abs.Overtrainning wont give u any benefits.Dancing is a fabulous way to strengthen those core muscles and work on it
Not only the abs dancing is a wonderful overbody workout
The legs,butt,calves,are thoroughly worked out in any forms of dancing
Now that you know the benefits of dancing Go choose your style have fun and flaunt those sexy abs
untill next time stay sexy and fit!
