This party melts pounds!

Good bye treadmill, hello dance party!  The American Council on Exercise hooked up dance participants to heart rate monitors.  Guess what they found?  A dance class functions a lot like interval training, with its mix of low and high intensity moves.  That means you could burn more calories shaking your booty than doing a steady-state exercise like jogging.  In addition-and this is key-if your workout feels like a treat, you are way more likely to repeat it again another day! That is the pleasure principle that Nia adopts!  Check out class times in your area and start burning those Christmas calories!
