Dancing for Fun and Fitness

This summer so far, I have enjoyed several open air concerts and public dancing events. It seems that you can find a place where music is being played almost anywhere during the summer. Whether you like old time music or rock and roll, there is somebody out there entertaining a crowd.

Dancing has got to be my #1 fitness activity. It’s doesn’t qualify for the word ‘work’out. It should be called ‘play’out. No, no that wouldn’t do either. Although now that I think about it, when I’m done, I’m played out :)

No matter what your favorite style of music is, if you can keep a beat, you can probably learn to dance. Last week, I watched seniors dancing to the tune of Johnny Cash and the fiddlers of Perth-Andover Market. It was great to see the grey hairs teaching kids of 5 to 10 how to step to the music.

Dancing is such a great way to work fitness into your life. Not only does it give you a reason to move, but it builds balance into your life as well. Dancing blends many of the best of life into one event. It is a positive social outlet, it decreases stress, and music improves your learning abilities.

The neat thing about dancing is, that it is not a seasonal sport. You can participate in dance by joining a class, going to a nightclub, going to an outdoor concert or getting into a mosh pit in an indoor concert. You can enjoy ballroom dancing, hip hop, salsa, or a polka. There are enough choices in that feild to keep you hopping for a lifetime.

Of course it would be crazy of me not to mention the clothes you can wear while you dance. If you have watched any of the popular shows lately like “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dancing With The Stars” then you’ve seen the wide variety of clothes and styles related to each kind of dance routine. By and large, the clothes used to practice in are the exact same kinds of clothing used for working out in the gym or on the street.

Check out our line of beautiful shirts and pants. Do you have trouble finding  Dancewear that fits? – quality Motionwear Dancewear and Gymnastics apparel for All Ages www.motionwearstore.com is a good place to go to get it.

That’s enough for today, I’m off to my clogging lesson :)

Dressing for Fitness Success

Beliefitness believes that we can dress you for fitness success. What does dressing for fitness success mean exactly? It means dressing in such a way as to encourage you to become what you wear.

Business people have known for years that dressing for success will not only impress potential clients but also tends to influence the owner of the wardrobe to act in a more successful manner. The same rule applies to fitness success.

If the person looking at you in the mirror looks successful, your subconscious mind will live up to that image more readily than if the image you see looks like a slob.

The idea of “putting your money where your mouth is” can be further incentive to working out and getting fit. When you buy a great looking outfit for fun and fitness activities, there is no doubt you will want to look your best in those clothes.

This summer consider what you are wearing. Do the clothes you wear make you want to get into shape? Are you willing to invest in your own fitness success? What is being in great shape worth to you?

Think about it and comment. We’d love to hear from you.
