Fun Stuff - Dance with Julianne: Cardio Ballroom

One of the most common reasons people don’t attain weight loss success is because they don't find exercise fun. This is a darn shame when there are so many fun ways to exercise and get in shape. Imagine how much easier it would be if you could do something you love to do while getting in shape at the same time.

Why is it Important to Have Fun While Exercising?

It was easy to lose track of time, right? Even if you were running, jumping and playing hard you didn’t notice how exhausted you were. Sweating, grinning, and out of breath -- you were exercising and having fun.

The same experience can be obtained as an adult. When you’re having fun while exercising you:
* Forget you’re working out
* Put more energy and attention into the movements and exercise
* Make time for exercise even when you’re busy and stressed.

What Makes Exercise Fun?

Exercise is fun when you’re doing something you enjoy. When you feel like a child again. What do you enjoy? What activities make you feel great? Perhaps you enjoy ice skating? Maybe you enjoy boxing or riding your bike. Many people love to dance. Dancing brings out the inner child in all of us. Whether you enjoy country line dancing or hip hop there are fitness programs designed to embrace the “Fun factor” and still help you lose weight.
