Does it count?

Question

I really want to start working out but I just can’t seem to stick to it. For example I did this two week workout plan and I enjoyed the after workout rush but, it got really boring after awhile so I ended up failing. Then I started a thirty day one and I ended up completing the first week but same problem. Now I find that I have more fun learning difficult dance choreography’s or dancing in heels more than I like working out but I just don’t think dancing loses enough weight. But I guess what I’m asking is, does dancing everyday for around an hour help as a substitute for working out? I don’t wanna sit around doing nothing just because I get bored easily?

Answer

Yes, dancing does constitute as a workout. Your heart rate increases. If you get bored then switch it up, go jogging, go for a swim, etc. remember that our muscles become used to what we doing as well so you just need to keep them ‘on edge’ and the best way to stick to the workouts is say to yourself that you’re only allowed 1 day gap. Like if you take a rest day then you set it in your mind that the next day you have to - and stick to it! Even if it means that you do it at midnight then you do it. Once the habit is formed it will be a lot easier to not have to convince yourself. Then they minute you get bored, change the exercise (nice thing to do is join classes as well) 
Good luck! Know you can totally do this!

Answer

Depends on you, your body type, your weight, the type of dancing you're doing, and the amount of calories you're trying to burn, ideally. 🤷🏽‍♀️
