Exercises for Weight Control

Dancing (weight-bearing or non-weight-bearing)

Dancing helps:

• tone your muscles
  
• improve your flexibility
  
• make your heart stronger
  
• make your lungs work better.

You can dance in a health club, in a nightclub, or at home. To dance at home, just move your body to some lively music!

Dancing on your feet is a weight-bearing activity. Dancing while seated lets you move your arms and legs to music while taking the weight off your feet. This may be a good choice if you can’t stand on your feet very long.
