Can belly dancing lose weight?
Belly dancing can not only lose weight, but also keep fit. Many belly dancing moves involve hip lifting and abdominal circular or up-and-down movements, so regular training can make your waist more flexible and elegant. Moreover, when belly dancing, dancers often need to raise their heels and perform their movements at a slow pace barefoot, which is helpful to train a pair of strong calves. The upper body chest moves with the abdomen, which can also play an obvious role in strengthening the chest for older women.
The movements and steps of belly dancing are very natural and casual, and will not cause any harm to the body, and are not limited by age and size. With the ever-changing fast pace, dancers swing their bellies, vigorously dance their arms and chests, and with the help of music, perform complex emotional body movements at an extremely fast speed. It can be seen that belly dancing is mainly aimed at the fat in the abdomen and waist, which can effectively tighten the whole body lines and easily reduce the fat on the arms, buttocks and thighs.
In order to achieve a better weight loss effect, when belly dancing, everyone should pay attention to diet, try to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat more crude fiber food, and eat less greasy or high-fat and high-calorie food.
