A collaborative study by the University of North Carolina, Stanford University and the University of California at San Diego shows that any aerobic activity —even done on a moderate scale—can reduce the risk from coronary disease. Many people enjoy aerobic dance workouts as part of their exercise regimen. The following exercise, set to music, can be an effective part of any dance workout:

1) Stand with your feet wide apart and your toes turned slightly outward.

2) Bend your right knee, making sure you allow your hips to shift naturally left. Then, bend your arms at the elbow while at the same time moving your right forearm up and your left forearm down.

3) Reverse the movement, beginning with bending your left knee and shifting your hips to the right. Raise your left forearm as your right forearm falls.

4) Change positions—from the right side to the left side—about 30 times to the music.

You can combine the above exercise movement with other dance movements to create an excellent 20 minute aerobic workout. That’s fun and easy – so you will stick to it even thought you are busy!
