If you've seen Slumdog Millionionaire, you are familiar with the different types of dance that India has to offer. Bhangra dance is no different; you still get the heart pumping cardio, but it's a low impact and fun dance to try. If you've got some knee or back problems and have access to FitTV on DirecTV, then check out Bhangra Dance with Sarina Jain. You're sure to have a good time doing a dance that doesn't require much background at all!
Sarina Jain is one of the few trainers that brings some of the history into dance while she's teaching you the moves on television. Bhangra is known as a celebration folk dance in India, and is also traditionally performed by men. But that doesn't stop women alike from participating in the energetic dance!
Sarina also makes sure to keep your head in the dance, telling you to 'call out to the music.' The music in the background of the dancing has a good beat, and if you can lose yourself in the dance, the music will come through your body into your heart. It's an uplifting dance that is sure to put you in a good mood!
The whole time you are having fun learning the easy moves, your heart rate is rising to a cardio fat burning level. Sarina also reminds you to engage you abdominal muscles on certain moves to incorporate some toning into the workout. On top of that, your calves are also getting a workout because you are jumping lightly on your feet the entire time. This action will also tone your legs in the side step moves, mainly working your quadriceps in your thighs.
If you're not into using weights for a workout, make sure to try Bhangra Dance. You'll have fun and be getting healthier at the same time!
