Salsa is a Latin dance and it's great for stamina and cardio. There's a lot of movement in the core area and so I feel like it's awesome for sculpting your obliques and your back and just getting that area moving in general.
I've done a barre class before. I swear.
I have a ballet barre in my gym. I turn the music up so loud that the walls are pulsating, and I go for it for an hour.
With dancing, it just brings out more flexibility, more core strength, and you definitely get a great workout.
Nothing burns more calories than dancing in 5-inch heels... try it!
My workout is ballet class and rehearsal - I've never belonged to a gym.
I like doing Zumba. I only do it like, once a week. If I did it more often, I would be very skinny.
Oh my God, Zumba is the greatest invention ever for women. I like to exercise, though I do nothing consistently because I get bored and impatient. With Zumba, you're dancing, you're moving your hips. So much fun.
I do as many fun activities as possible. A lot of hiking, beach bike riding and walking. And cardio barre, which is a dance-based workout at a ballet barre. It's a full-body workout for one hour on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in a studio.
Even if you're a guy and you don't believe in dancing, you should try dance cardio. It's really fun!
They should probably have a James Brown aerobic tape. You would lose a lot of weight.
I'm a huge fan of dance cardio because it goes by really quick.
If you want a dancer's body, dance. Dance aerobics is my favourite cardio. It's very frustrating if people think you have to become a dancer to do it - you don't.
I shake my booty all the time! It's the best workout!
I go out and salsa with friends, especially in the summertime. Now that's incredible cardio!
I hate exercise when it's a regime, but I love a bit of dance, just moving the whole body.
Jazzercise classes are a fun way for me to stay fit and dance - and it doesn't require a partner.
I think variety is the spice of sticking with an exercise routine, whether it's getting a dance tape one day, or getting a tape with those stretchy things to work with resistance on a different day.
Because dancing is way more fun than the treadmill, I downloaded the video of Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' and started to learn her dance. Let me tell you, if I ever did that dance in a club, I would still be a single lady! But what a workout!
Salsa is a phenomenal way to stay fit, have a great time with your friends and listen to great music.
I was performing with the Pussycat Dolls when I was approached by a company who wanted to do a workout series. I hired the creator of the Dolls, and as a team we went in and rehearsed and put together this series.
Now pole dancing is part of popular culture as exercise.
My personal trainer is an ex-dancer so we do a lot of ballet and jazz.
By continuing to work out and dance while pregnant, I feel a double reward from maintaining my normal routine but all the while knowing that baby is sharing in my day.
I think it's absolutely possible for any woman to use the moves I do with Lady Gaga. Just put on her 'Born This Way' video or turn on one of her songs, spend 20 minutes and get a routine down just by watching our choreography. You'll start to see a difference in your abs, legs and butt. Anyone can get great results from this.
