Belly Dancing

Belly dancing can be a fun way to keep fit. For a lot of people training just for fitness can be too boring or otherwise hard to do. These people often find that another activity they enjoy which has fitness as a side effect is much more effective. Belly dancing is one of these strategies. Dancing can be fun in and of itself but it acts like an invisible training routine.

To begin learning belly dancing you don't need much. Some space to dance in, maybe a square a couple of meters on a side. You'll need a full body length mirror so you can see what you are up to. Find a private place. It is hard not to be self conscious if you are learning to belly dance in public view. Self consciousness is not a good state for learning or training. It is also not very fun. Find some clothes that expose your hips and belly. It is called belly dancing after all. Although not strictly necessary, some scarves and silky ribbons will help you get into the mood. Very important : find yourself some Arabian belly dancing music! You can't dance without music!

With those things at the ready, all you need is to know how. That is where this video comes in! Watch it and start dancing! Not only will you have fun but you will start to tone up your muscles and enjoy all the many benefits of physical fitness.
