Does dancing help weight loss?

Dancing (Weight Bearing or Nonweight Bearing)

Dancing may help:

  • Tone your muscles.

  • Improve your flexibility.

  • Make your heart stronger.

  • Make your lungs work better.

You can dance in a health club, in a nightclub, or at home. To dance at home, just move your body to some lively music!

Dancing on your feet is a weight-bearing activity. Dancing while seated lets you move your arms and legs to music while taking the weight off your feet. This may be a good choice if you cannot stand on your feet for a long time.
