Execises That Help to Tone Your Body Into Dancing Fitness

Do you want to have the body of a dancer, slim and light-footed? Doesn't come all that easily, I'm afraid. Takes a lot of hard work and exercise. Here are some exercises that would help tone your body into dancing fitness.

FEET

Stand with feet together keeping the toes of the right foot securely on the ground. Push up the rest of the foot, keeping the ankle fully braced over the toes, off the floor, to have a fully pointed and stretched foot pointing towards the floor. Then lower the toes first and then the rest of the foot (reverse order to the original movement). Repeat with the other leg.

ARMS

Stand straight, arms at your side, with palms facing inward. With your fingers touching your body, gently push the elbows outward. Slowly bring your hands together, fingers touching, making a circle. Keeping the circle, lift your arms up to waist level. Hold in this position, then gently lower.

Weekly schedule of body toning and cardio?

I attend an interval class on Wednesday and Saturday that is cardio and total body strength training. Though the strength training isn't that intense. I know you should give you muscles time to recover, but I'm not sure what I should on do on the days I don't have class.

I was doing those type of classes, two a day and every Mon, Wed, and Fri. in between I lifted every Tues, Thurs, and Sat. I began to loose weight but that wasn't my goal, I was loosing muscle. After a month of this I began to loose energy for everyday activities. Now I lift 4 times a week and do an hour of cardio once a week and I am gaining the weight I want to. It is very important to let your body rest, if you feel that you aren't weightlifting enough you could switch to just a cardio class twice a week and lift on your own but I would recommend if your just beginning to limit the weights to three times a week. In the end you will just have to experiment and find the routine that allows your body to respond best to what you are looking to achieve.
