Everyone knows that exercise is essential for health and wellbeing but many women find it difficult to get excited about working out. Bellydancing offers an enchanting escape from the monotony of stair steppers, life cycles and treadmills. This ancient art form will benefit you in a wide variety of ways and on multiple levels.



Bellydancing will improve your overall mental health. As the hypnotic music of the dance combines with smooth repetitive motions, you will experience true relaxation and stress relief. Since the movements of belly dancing were designed expecially for women, you will also enjoy a sense of enhanced feminity and creativity through self-expression. As you learn to move more gracefully and sensually, you may even feel more joyful and energetic.
Besides making you feel more attractive and artistic, bellydancing has many important physical benefits. For example, it tones and strengthens abdominal and core muscles surrounding the vertebae and hips. This means it can prevent back problems and improve balance. The low-impact movements also utilize muscles groups surrounding the neck and shoulders, promoting good posture. Extensive stretching and isolation movements, which are the fundamental focus of this type of dance, increase production of fluid in the joints and greatly increase flexibiltiy.
Bellydaning has countless other benefits as well. Like other types of exercise, it burns a lot of calories. Experts have estimated that belly dancing can burn between 300 to 400 calories per hour; of course, it depends on which movements you are doing. It also increases cardiovascular capacity and endurance, just as it decreases your chances of developing osteoporosis. However, there are many other benefits you may not have expected. For instance, undulations of the torso while bellydancing aids in digestion.
As you can see, bellydancing offers a wealth of benefits, many of which haven't even been mentiononed. It will break the dull routine of a boring exercise program and bring balance to mind, body, and soul.
