Will dancing help tone my body, (butt, abs, etc) or will it make me only lose weight?

Question

I want to tone up, and dancing to me, would be the best way, but does it work?

Answer 1

dancing is ok but you have to target certain areas if you want to really tone. read tips on some great workouts and more on this site

Answer 2

Dancing depending on what kind it is can be classified as cardio. Its not nearly as good as walking on a treadmill on an incline or running or swimming or biking but its okay. If you want to tone up you should do some research there is a ton out there.

Answer 3

any kind of physical activity you do on a daily basis will aid in toning up the body. But infrequency will nullify the benefits. The activity you choose must be done on a daily basis, 365 days a year, to be of true benefit and help you tone up.

Answer 4

Oh honey- believe me- you will tone up! Try doing a salsa or a cha-cha for 30 minutes and work up a sweat! You use your thighs, hips, upper body, legs.
The best way is to take lessons and practice. Or, just boogie around the house.

Answer 5

Dancing will defiantly tone your body , don't forget to warm up before you start and stretch afterwards. Try to vary you dance routine.
