I’ve seen various kinds of dancing, what I’ve seen consistent with all kinds of dancing is the intense connection between the dancers the music. And yes, I think Kizomba tends to relax the body and mind because it has a slow, sensual feel that entices you to groove to the music.Mathew Engelshttp://skinnybodygreatlife.com/weight-loss-products-and-solutions/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762661220155319455.post-60725550483879154992012-07-10T09:49:54.800-07:002012-07-10T09:49:54.800-07:00Hi Celia.

I think ...Hi Celia. What do you do as your sport?<br /><br />I think that dances like salsa are a great cardiovascular workout, but Kizomba so far has not got me out of breath. The teacher says try to be as lazy as possible in our movement - no wasted energy.<br /><br />You are right about the knees. As with most African dances it is very "grounded".<br /><br />Regardless of the workout there is definitely a feel good factor also. Sometimes I am very tired when I enter the class and feel like maybe skipping it. But after dancing for a few minutes I start to wake up, and I leave the class with more energy than when I came in. It might be good to have dance classes in the morning before work to energise you ready for the day ahead.fattofithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722487840433632797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762661220155319455.post-50397980913651896812012-07-09T16:38:19.525-07:002012-07-09T16:38:19.525-07:00Wow.

I don’t do dance as my sport, but I do know for a fact that it helps us to feel younger. :) It is beneficial for our cardiovascular system and increases our lung’s capacity. The muscle and breathing effort exerted by dancers is equivalent to those of cyclists and swimmers. Hmm. If I’m not mistaken, Kizomba originated way back in 1980s. One who dances the latter, needs a great amount of flexibility in the knees because of the frequent up and down steps.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lajollasportsclub.com/childcare.php" rel="nofollow">Celia Maciomhair</a>Celia Maciomhairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16784089662562215906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762661220155319455.post-37229928685705810272012-06-14T02:59:32.396-07:002012-06-14T02:59:32.396-07:00Hi Cath.

I know that workout series from when I visited Rwanda, as Anny's sister and her boyfriend were following it when they lived there. It looked really intense, kind of like boot camp, but self motivated boot camp. Hope the rest of the series goes well for you and that it it remains fun.fattofithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722487840433632797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762661220155319455.post-76785156611960374152012-06-14T02:37:41.917-07:002012-06-14T02:37:41.917-07:00I do the BeachBody workouts (www.beachbody.co.uk) ...I do the BeachBody workouts (<a href="www.beachbody.co.uk" rel="nofollow">www.beachbody.co.uk</a>) which do involve some kind of street dancing, although I don't think anybody could get so sweaty and heavy breathing after merely dancing :d. They're really hardcore. This is part of my losing weight goal, I still have a long way to go until I choose to take on the Moroccan marathon... Keep on the good work.
